Could this be specific to gradle (you are using a pre-release version)? CI runs on GraalVM 21 without issues: #983
Gradle seems to maybe not pick up the META-INF/versions/9 files from the multi-release jar, where the SqliteJdbcFeature class is located.

Maybe I need to invite a gradle expert @melix to help take a look at this issue
