I have a question related to integrating Spring Boot with OpenTelemetry. I am planning to use the dependency opentelemetry-spring-boot-starter. My questions are: When should I use this approach? Why shouldn't I use the Java Agent instead? What is the difference between these methods, and which one should I choose?

If you are already using Spring Boot, there's no question that you should prefer the Spring Boot starter to anything else. They are better software engineers than you or I will ever be. They have already tested their starter code thoroughly. You'll get upgrades as they improve it. Prefer the Spring Boot code over your own. — duffymo

I'm a fan of using OpenTelemetry because it "just works". Spring has done all of the integration work to let us get our base cases for observability done.
