I think this bug that I opened is invalid for both openjdk-9 and
openjfx. Sorry for not closing it sooner.

Ubuntu has a separate package for JavaFX, currently at version 11, the
Long Term Support release. The most recent release is version 15,
available on September 8, 2020. OpenJFX follows the same six-month
release schedule as OpenJDK, with the same version numbers, generally
made available one week before each OpenJDK release.

Personally, I would like to see the openjfx package updated in the same
manner as the OpenJDK packages, which include the intermediate releases
between the Long Term Support versions. I have been unable to find the
plans for OpenJFX on Ubuntu, though.
