> Java Web Start is deprecated since Java 9 and unsupported by OpenJDK. Will users be refered to native client launchers from now on?

Yes. We are working on a refresh of the native launchers that will include a bundled JVM as well. These will be released in both 7.9 and 8.0+.

Web Start is dead. You can remain on Java 8 and continue using it for as long as you want, but it'll be best to migrate to native launchers once we release the new ones.
