(I’m just a Maven user) It seems that, for consuming the artifact, the closed-source plugin seems not a dependency. I believe it just works fine. Your company’s support team might get questions like “I tried to build your library myself but the build failed.”
Maven has a capability to replace pom.xml content when packaging a project. The flatten Maven plugin uses it https://www.mojohaus.org/flatten-maven-plugin/ .
