Deserialization behavior change with @JsonCreator and @ConstructorProperties between 2.17 and 2.18

Describe the bug

We maintain a large codebase which has some legacy classes that use Hungarian notation and lombok,

Deserialization used to work up until the 2.18 update where jackson is no longer respecting the @ConstructorProperties to match the constructor properties and we are now seeing cannot deserialize from Object value (no delegate- or property-based Creator) errors.

This may be related to INFER_CREATOR_FROM_CONSTRUCTOR_PROPERTIES and the recent rewrite POJO Property Introspection

Version Information

2.18.2

Reproduction

@Test
  void deserialization() throws JsonProcessingException {
    var json =
        """
{
  "value": "test"
}
""";
    var result = new ObjectMapper().readValue(json, Something.class); // throws error

    assertEquals("test", result.getValue());
  }

  private static class Something {
    @JsonProperty("value")
    private final String _value;

    String getValue() {
      return _value;
    }

    @JsonCreator
    @ConstructorProperties({"value"})
    Something(String pValue) {
      _value = pValue;
    }
  }

Expected behavior

jackson should be able to leverage @ConstructorProperties for the @JsonCreator
