How much “no cost” support do you expect to recieve from Amazon for this “no cost” product Corretto? Amazon, re-branding “free” as “no cost”. What happens when 200 other companies also need “no cost” support?
Commercial support is also available for the builds from adoptopenjdk.net from both IBM and jClarity at present. Ref: https://adoptopenjdk.net/support.html
Lesson learned, use C or C++, no-one ‘owns’ those languages [so no java, no go, no swift, no C#, no F#, no VB, no typescript, no erlang, not anything that smells of propriety].
Azul (who I work for) provides Zulu as an alternative to the Oracle JDK, being a build based on OpenJDK. This is available in Community Edition (free) or Enterprise Edition (commercial with support and SLAs).
The biggest challenge you face is that Java Web Start is not part of OpenJDK (it is closed source and has not been contributed by Oracle). Therefore, you need something to replace it; there are alternatives like IcedTEA web but this is not a drop-in replacement and you need to evaluate carefully how this is updated with security patches.

Do you know any alternative, regarding Java 8 on desktop platforms (macOS and Windows)? Any company offering long-term support?

I’d bet they will offer an affordable support license, as they intend to develop it donation-based apparently.
