Is Azure AD Spring Boot authentication compatible with Tomcat 10?

I realize that the most likely explanation is that I must have made an error, but after extensive research it seems prudent to ask: Is Azure AD authentication for Spring Boot webapps still compatible with WAR deployment in Tomcat 10? Or perhaps "not yet"?

My trivial Hello World app used to work in Tomcat 9, this is the code after migrating it to Spring Boot 3 / Spring 6 / Spring Security 6 / Tomcat 10.

This error is thrown during WAR deploy to Tomcat 10:

Cannot cast ch.qos.logback.classic.servlet.LogbackServletContainerInitializer to jakarta.servlet.ServletContainerInitializer

In case it is relevant, Tomcat 10 is configured for log4j 2.20.0 logging with a log4j file similar to the Tomcat 9 one, and includes log4j-api, log4j-appserver and log4j-core JARs.

The most relevant information I found is: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/java/spring-framework/spring-boot-starter-for-azure-active-directory-developer-guide?tabs=SpringCloudAzure5x but I fail to see anything there that would indicate what is wrong with my setup.

Application:

@EnableWebSecurity
@EnableMethodSecurity
@SpringBootApplication
public class WebSbAzureHelloApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

  @Override
  protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
    return application.sources(WebSbAzureHelloApplication.class);
  }
  
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(WebSbAzureHelloApplication.class, args);
        System.out.println("Hello World");
    }

}

Controller:

@RestController
public class HelloController {
   @GetMapping("Admin")
   @ResponseBody
   @PreAuthorize("hasAuthority('APPROLE_Admin')")
   public String Admin() {
       return "Admin message";
   }
}
