For my FuelSDK fork I found another component that would benefit from updating, namely the Partner API WSDL defining the SOAP requests and responses, used by Apache CXF to generate Java classes representing those objects. The main Salesforce branch is still relying on a copy of the WSDL downloaded in 2017. A comparison of the two WSDLs is showing quite a few new and modified request and response objects since then:
ClientID: CustomerID TaskResult: TblAsyncID SaveOption: TrackChanges AccountUser: IsSendable APIObject: __AdditionalEmailAttribute 1-5. Attribute: no longer inheriting APIObject SubscriberResult: ErrorCodeID TriggeredSendClassEnum TriggeredSendSubClassEnum SenderProfile: FallbackFromAddress deleted: MessagingConfiguration ChatMessagingEventType SalesforceSendActivity ImportDefinition: HasMultipleFiles ImportResultsSummary: NumberRestricted JsonWebKey DirectoryTenant AuditLogUserContext AutomationActivity: SerializedObject AttributeEntityV1 Thumbnail NameIdReference CategorynameIdReference UserBasicsEntity AssetAnyProperty Asset Category ScheduledRequest ScheduledConversation
I did need to make two adjustments to the WSDL copied into my fork, as detailed on the project README and commented in the WSDL. For one of them--a mismatch between what the WSDL claims the SOAP response will be for a particular call and what it actually is, causing a validation exception with CXF--I've sent a help ticket to Marketing Cloud requesting they update their WSDL. This particular issue has been around a long time, apparently, as even the 2017 WSDL needed this manual adjustment.

I updated my FuelSDK fork to JDK 11 and switched its build from Maven to Gradle. For those running CXF wsdl2java tasks in Maven and wishing to use Gradle instead, comparing the former pom and current build.gradle for this project should help in showing the process involved.
For the CXF wsdl2java process, I used Francisco Mateo's cxf-codegen-gradle plugin which offers a very nice user's guide. The FuelSDK also uses JavaCC to generate some model classes, which thankfully has its own Gradle plugin, allowing me to complete the build script conversion.
