It certainly is, one just needs to check any programming language market share analysis that omits Android deployments.
Kotlin hardly does more than 10% of JVM workloads, and it isn't as if any JVM vendor is replacing Java with Kotlin on their JVM implementation.
Besides Google with ART, which is anyway not a JVM proper, not fully TCK compliant to start with.
At least at my company we are increasingly using more and more Kotlin. And that happens in many places. This is Server JVM, not Android. And I know other places too.
Congratulations, you are part of those 10%.
10% is a large number for a new language on a VM.
