[suggestion] as this variable is more than just a name - it is a json object, we might want to rename it to something more representing like

Suggested change
private String metadataName;
private String metadata;

[nit] If this is really the only reason why we add a JSON dependency, can we maybe utilize our own object representation of metadata?

something like

@Override
    public void initialize(EvaluationContext evaluationContext) throws Exception {
        var metadataBuilder = MultiProviderMetadata.builder();
        metadataBuilder.name(NAME);
        Map<String, Metadata> providersMetadata = new HashMap();
        ExecutorService initPool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(INIT_THREADS_COUNT);
        Collection<Callable<Boolean>> tasks = new ArrayList<>(providers.size());
        for (FeatureProvider provider : providers.values()) {
            tasks.add(() -> {
                provider.initialize(evaluationContext);
                return true;
            });
            Metadata providerMetadata = provider.getMetadata();
            providersMetadata.put(providerMetadata.getName(), providerMetadata);
        }
        metadataBuilder.originalMetadata(providersMetadata);
        List<Future<Boolean>> results = initPool.invokeAll(tasks);
        for (Future<Boolean> result : results) {
            if (!result.get()) {
                throw new GeneralError("init failed");
            }
        }
        metadata = metadataBuilder.build();
    }

with an own implementation of the metadata interface called MultiProviderMetadata

@Data
@Builder
public class MultiProviderMetadata implements Metadata {

    String name;
    Map<String, Metadata> originalMetadata;
}

wdyt? This would eliminate the dependency and make editing the code easier - I did not test this, and I am not sure if we will miss information with JSON conversion, etc.

json.put("name", NAME);
JSONObject providersMetadata = new JSONObject();
json.put("originalMetadata", providersMetadata);

If the executer service is unused from this point onwards, we should shut it down
