Also on the question about distributed monorepo, and how people may depend on your internals, can't visibility be used to allow packages to be used only by specific others? (I've learned this back at Google, when this was used to allow-list certain C++ library to be used across, but you had to request it, and some of the OWNERS would change the BUILD file to allow your package to use it). But maybe this gets trickier with maven, so not sure.
