Thanks for the refactoring work. Overall, the changes are clear and improve readability in several places.
However, I noticed one potential behavioral change in Problem.toString(): changing problem.getType().toString() to string concatenation changes the behavior when getType() returns null (NPE vs. "null"). Since the PR is intended to be non-behavioral, I recommend preserving the existing behavior here.
Also, the new @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") in ThrowableProblem#getCause() appears unnecessary because this is not an unchecked generic cast. It would be cleaner to remove it.
Apart from these points, the refactoring looks reasonable.

This changes the behavior when problem.getType() is null: the previous implementation called toString() explicitly and would throw a NullPointerException, while string concatenation converts null to the literal "null". Since this PR is described as non-behavioral, could we preserve the existing problem.getType().toString() behavior here?

Is @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") necessary here? The cast is from Throwable to ThrowableProblem and does not appear to be an unchecked generic cast, so I think this suppression can be removed.

Could we add or update a regression test for the refactored toString() implementation, particularly around nullable fields, to demonstrate that this refactoring preserves the existing behavior?

Since this set is only used for contains() and is already private static final, is the LinkedHashSet/unmodifiableSet combination necessary here? A simpler immutable set construction would make this refactor easier to read.
