[Cucumber] [JVM] Upgrade of cucumber to version 4 is causing issues

[DA Bears]

Older version: info.cukes:cucumber-java8:1.2.3-SNAPSHOT,
info.cukes:cucumber-spring:1.2.3-SNAPSHOT,
info.cukes:cucumber-junit:1.2.3-SNAPSHOT

New version: cucumber.io:cucumber-java8:4.1.0,
cucumber.io:cucumber-spring:4.1.0; cucumber.io:cucumber-junit:4.1.0

*Issue:*Cucumber fails to convert value from feature file to a double. This
used to work magically in earlier versions.

*Step Defs:*

@Then("^the price should be '(.*)'$")
public void validatePrice(double price) throws Throwable {
// code here
}

*Error from cucumber:*
cucumber.runtime.CucumberException: Failed to invoke <...>.validatePrice(
double) in file:<...>/target/test-classes/, caused by java.lang.

*Question:* Is it too early to upgrade? Anyone has successes upgrading
existing project?

*Other Issue/Comment: *One other issue I came across was Cucumber did not
convert DataTable to POJO by default. I had to setup TypeRegistry to
default DataTableType for the POJOs. Workarounds for this issue
was https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50771856/cucumber-jvm-3-io-cucumber-datatable-undefineddatatabletypeexception
and https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/issues/1426
