Beware, the "shared" in these archetypes is meant as "shared between client
and server", where client+shared+server are seen as "a single application"
but are split out due mostly due to how Maven works: client and shared use
the same package, so there's no need for a gwt.xml in the shared library
(for those who know about it, this is somehow similar to a Kotlin
Multiplatform project).
In your case, the "shared" library is client-side only and shared between
GWT applications. Not the same kind of "shared". I would use separate
packages then, and the gwt-lib packaging (which comes with a gwt.xml for
the library): replace <packaging>jar</packaging> with
<packaging>gwt-lib</packaging> (or most likely add it), remove the
maven-source-plugin, add the gwt-maven-plugin with a configured
<moduleName>, and replace the dependencies to it in web-client and
mobile-client to a single dependency with <type>gwt-lib</type>.

Do you have the gwt-maven-plugin in "shared" to process/rename that
module.gwt.xml? Are you missing an <inherits/> to that shared module in
your client's module.gwt.xml?

The <inherits/> is totally independent from your build tool, so if you
needed it, you still need it.
I would recommend publishing the JARs to a Maven repository and use
standard dependencies, but a system scope should just work.

Yes. codeserver would then serve both apps by default, unless you "filter"
them using the "projects" or "modules" parameter, or just Maven's "-pl
mobile-client -am"
