Hi,
it seems the Jackson Afterburner Module will result in improved performance in most cases, sometimes considerably.
Thus I suggest to add it to the list of autoconfigured Jackson modules.
I would love to provide a PR, possibly accompanied by some (performance) tests.

Dependency management is shipped with the jackson-bom already, and activating this module is about declaring a module instance as a @Bean.
Currently we're only auto-configuring the parameter names modules; given the required effort and the module popularity, I'm not sure we should add an auto-configuration for this module, as we'd need to do the same for the many other available modules.
I've marked this issue for team-attention to discuss that point.

It seems that Afterburner has issues with Java 9+.
Closing the issue.
