My question is if you need to support many different containers, why is so important to inherit jboss-parent? That plugins and settings are valid for only last version of jboss projects.
Again you can still have different profiles with different resources for other targeting platforms. Here is a discussion about inheriting not useful things for the example.
I couldn't find any personal opinions in previous comments.
If you need to have technically a parent for examples, that is as Karel in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12243?focusedCommentId=12701912&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-12701912 fine.
