I also assume that at some point we might want to have our artifacts

For reference, here are the Sonatype OSS repository guidelines:
https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype+OSS+Maven+Repositor...
The important excerpt
"Besides, we discourage putting release repository/pluginRepository in
your POM. In ideal conditions, all your dependencies should be already
in central and central repository is self-contained. Otherwise
people's build might break because of missing dependencies."
So it is not "banned", but there is a strong argument against it.
