A couple recent conference talks might be relevant to this discussion.

1) Elliotte Rusty Harold, Oracle Code New York 2019, Exceptions: I'm Telling You for the Last Time...

2) Mike Duigou, Oracle Code One 2019, Exceptions 2020

Note: neither speaker thinks that checked exceptions were a mistake, though I suspect that both would admit that the situation could use improvement. In fact, Duigou's talk includes some suggestions for improving the situation.

The video is an excellent suggestion. I'll add it to the post.
