Note, though, that I'm only commenting on legality, not on ability to do something.

Since the kernel comes in the image, I would agree with this. Changing the OS and the kernel would not be allowed.
For installing packages, and recompiling the JDK, I would say both of those are perfectly fine. The JDK does not come with the image, so if doing either of those things was illegal, both the Python and Java implementations would be illegal, and we know that both of those are legal.
