Something awesome would be to have a S-expression to Maven XML transpiler. Parens instead of xml tags. Is there something like that?

Not a transpiler, but we use something similar all the time in Clojureland.

It can easily be used as a Java build tool.

You could do something like that with polygot-maven.

The encoding (XML) isn't Maven's problem, the semantics are.
