With Maven I can't have a distributed build cache or multi-project caching

Yeah maybe. But I've found cache problems have always ended up costing more time than the cache ever saves.

I worked on what was claimed to be the second-biggest scala codebase in the world - 10MLOC, 500 contributors. Of course just switching off caching with 0 other workflow changes doesn't work, but I remain convinced that transparent caching does more harm than good.
