generated an EC-384 key which was fine as it was considered
strong enough until RHEL-9 came along. RHEL-9 no longer considers
any of EC keys strong enough (for key exchange) and thus we're
back to RSA, but this time with 2048 bits. Generated by this cmd

I'd go for 4096 bits to stay ahead a bit.

My quick google search yielded just some JDK changes for improving the
implementation of EC algorithms:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8208698
but nothing that would state it's no longer secure or anything.
Either way.
