Proxy annotation alternative for sealed classes

[mosesonline]

Hello,

i've recently started testing spring-boot 3.2, and within this project, I also wanted to use a sealed class. However, to use it as an entity, the only solution I've found is to annotate it with @Proxy(lazy=false). I was quite happy until I noticed that this annotation is deprecated.

Since I couldn't find another solution, I want to ask here if there is one, will be in the future, or if it's possible to continue using the @Proxy annotation.

I've made an small example project. You can start it with the ProxyDeprecationApplicationTests class, which starts also the Postgres-database with Testcontainers. If you run it like it is, it starts fine, but without the annotation on the ContactEntity.ContactChannelEntity class, startup fails.
