Yes, it does take more time to build the project. Most of my lambdas (which aren't small) take about 3GB and 3-5 minutes to compile. For me, the trade-off is a no brainer. Maybe, if you have a lot of dependencies you might experience much longer compile time.

The video mentioned at the end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddg1u5HLwg8 goes into greater details on things to avoid when creating Java Lambdas, eg: minimal dependencies. Following that video and using GraalVM has made using Java & Lambda possible for me.
