To date, I have been using Maven in one environment with a MRM and one without. The MRM-based development got more complicated. I do see the advantages that an MRM can offer, but these have been irrelevant for our situation.

I get that.
Trouble is that at the current project sizes, homogenization isn't giving me much of an advantage. I have inhomogenous jar imports, I have inhomogenous deployment scenarios, and there's nothing I can do about either side.

If you don't want to use a repository manager, just don't use Maven, Maven
is not flexible by design.

Understood, and a conclusion I have reached quite a while ago.

Unfortunately, changing the build tool is never an easy option.
So for now, I'm stuck with Maven, whether it's the right tool for the job or not, and I'll have to somehow make it work whatever the problems.
