This will start up Minion and it will work normally without generating any exceptions.

Great that you figured out a way to run Minion without Oracle's Java!
I went ahead and installed Liberica using Homebrew (as outlined
here at Bellsoft) using the package "liberica-jre11-full" (as listed
here on Github) und also removed Oracle's Java (see instructions
here) and Minion is working. I see some errors in Terminal but that doesn't seem to prevent Minion from running or updating addons so far.

If I had a direct download link to this file, we could skip step 1 and 2 entirely, but I didn't bother to get the link yet.

The download link is:
https://cdn.mmoui.com/minion/v3/Minion3.0.11-java.zip (I just replaced the version number in the Java download link taken from Minion's download page) which ships the file with the sha256sum you posted.
One step closer to "In theory, someone could take the latest version of Minion's JAR, the latest version of the Liberica Java 11 runtime with JavaFX, bundle the two together into an app bundle, and provide a direct download that will just work." ? --- I am not sure if the devs would appreciate somebody else doing this and posting it on the forum with an external download link... """Someone""" could come up with a script that pulls together all required files though ;-)
