So the issue is with producing large JARs?

You can use it now, JMH does not force you to use maven-shade-plugin. In
fact, non-Maven JMH usages are uberjar-ing with their own facilities.
Moreover, you are not required to have an uberjar to begin with --
however that is simpler because the classpath, resources, etc. are
bundled together and deployable together.
