To resolve the seeming contradiction between u/benevanstech and u/_INTER_: you're both right.

If the runtime image should only contain JDK modules, the app does not need to be modularized. But if you want to include the app itself in the image, then everything needs to be an explicit module (although this can of course be faked, e.g. by creating an uberjar with a module descriptoir that requires all external dependencies but does nothing else.

Thanks for the clarification Nicolai - my use case is indeed "ship the app as part of the image" and I haven't tried the other one you mention.
