I'm tempted to vote this question as off-topic but cannot find any criteria on meta about this.
What do we do with questions of the form "I'm using X, can I do Y with it?"

NO, they are off-topic. Quoting from our help center's on-topic page:
This site is for questions asking for recommendations of software ready-to-use to accomplish a particular task, that is, “what software can I use to do …?”
(emphasis mine). You see, it's not including "can I use this software to do …".
Further, see our question quality guidelines. Just quoting one chapter name: "What kind of application are you looking for?" – again, it's about "what application" – not the other way around.
Further relevant scope questions include:
If you have a question about X (in that case Spring Data JPA), then:
- Refrain from asking on this site.
- Go read the documentation about X (in that case https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html/).
- The documentation or official website probably says whether X can be used for Y. If not:
- Go to https://superuser.com/help/on-topic and familiarize yourself with that site's rules.
- Search for X on that site, check whether your question is answered already. If not:
- Post your question at https://superuser.com , be sure to include all necessary details per the site's rules: https://superuser.com/help/how-to-ask
