I'm not super keen on that either. I'm not a Node dev and most of the folks
on the team and our contributors aren't. So this has to be Java folks
friendly.
You just have to follow instructions like "run `npm install`". Is not
that hard ;)

What diff are you talking about? RHSSO is just pulling in KC tags. That's
it. However, it might be that we're "cheating" the productization process
by checking in the modules.
Let's say that you checked in these dependencies, but I decided to run
"npm update". Based on what we have for the `package.json` at the
quickstarts, the most recent version of each dependency will be
download. And now, you have to track the change for each dependency.
Let's take for example this
package.json(https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-quickstarts/pull/25/fil....
You pretty much would need to know
what has changed for each dependency.

Nah you don't. Because Maven has a global Maven repo on your box
(~/.m2/repository dude). As long as you've ran the build since the deps was
last changed you can just use the offline mode with Maven.
Yep, if you have nothing, and you are disconnected, there's no offline
dependency. What sucks and I believe is your point, is the fact
that Node don't have the concept of global repository for all
the dependencies.

I'm actually more happy with not checking it in if we can workaround the
issues and make it a Java dev friendly process.
Can all the stuff needed be retrieved with Maven plugins or would folks
have to install Node, NPM, etc, etc.. to build what is mostly a "Java
project"?
The idea behind running Maven is to automate the installation of Node dependencies
inside the project. But still, people prior to that people have to install Node.
