As this applies to access tokens, if your application doesn't need a JWT, it shouldn't care whether the authorization server returns a JWT or an opaque token. On the flip side, if your app needs a JWT, then the authorization server must return one.

Revocation is either offered by the authorization server or managed by the app. If the authorization server manages it, then JWTs vs. opaque tokens are not a concern because the authorization server issues and revokes its own tokens. If the app manages it, then generally it does so based on the token type. If the app revokes based on opaque tokens, it can handle any type of token, including JWTs. If it revokes based on JWTs, then JWTs are required.

Beyond that, the only differences between the two token types are size and data leaks. Size rarely matters (hehe), so just ignore that. Data leaks are only an issue if you app is leaking JWTs, which is usually considered a critical vulnerability. Remember that access tokens are the main units of identity and if I steal an access token, I effectively become that user/client.
