Describe the bug

The Hibernate Validator is enabled by default, even when it's not used currently. The Hibernate Validator is only used for the new Client API v2 right now. Enabling Hibernate Validator is quite resource-consuming for startup due to expensive initialization. That's also a difference between 26.4.x and 26.5.x, so it's considered as regression.

Startup time:

Startup memory allocations (against 26.4.x) (~10MB with other related procedures):

Version

26.5.1

Regression

• The issue is a regression

Expected behavior

Hibernate Validator is not enabled when not needed

Actual behavior

Hibernate Validator is always enabled

How to Reproduce?

Start the server and see enabled Quarkus extensions

Anything else?

Might contribute to:

• Increase in startup memory consumption in post 26.5 versions #45662
• k8s multiple restart (oomkilled) in v26.5.0-0 during startup because of RAM #45459
