Expected Behavior

Please describe the expected behavior of the issue, starting from the first action.

The following should compile (works under Scala 2.13):

case class UserId(id:Long) extends AnyVal

object UserId {
  implicit val reads: Reads[UserId] = Json.reads[UserId]
  implicit val writes: Writes[UserId] = Json.writes[UserId]
}

Actual Behavior

It fails to compile under Scala 3.3.3:

Instance not found: 'ProductOf[UserId]'

Reproducible Test Case

Example included in the ticket.

• Mirror.ProductOf instance for Value class scala/scala3#17800

Class with AnyVal is a rather a Value class than a Case class (and in fact I would not recommended make it a case class).
There are dedicated macros for Value classes.
