All seems to fall back to an issue with the maven-javadoc-plugin.
What if we try to fix that first?
thanks,
Robert

Indeed it would complicates plugins, but conversely doing nothing
complicates the use of standard Java tools. For example Maven can not
yet generate aggregate javadoc on modularized projects, and the default
Maven directory structure is blocking us from using the command-line as
a fallback (unless I missed a workaround). So I'm looking for a way to
get the best of both worlds.
You've summed up only a small number of plugins, but in the end almost
every plugins needs to become aware of this new structure
Yes, I realize that.
The options to compile multiple modules all at once is a direct result
of the modularization of the JDK itself, and the need to build it all
at once without third party tool. Maven already supports this since
the early days, but with its own structure.
Indeed, but Maven own structure provides different advantages and
inconvenient. In addition of above-cited javadoc issue, running
annotation processor on multi-modules at once would be easier with a
jigsaw-friendly project (I sometime need to do that, when the processing
result is some kind of global report). I suspect that there would also
be other advantages with other Java tools that I did not yet explored.
You can give it a try to patch the plugins, but I'm afraid you'll jump
from one failing plugin to the next.
Possibly, but before to spend time on that I would prefer to know if
there is support for the principle. A wiki page?
