Yes, you are right.
But in Fedora there is tooling where I can exclude dependency.
Even if we created maven profile we would have to patch source code somehow.
I think it's possible to do it way I proposed or rewrite ConnectionFactoryImpl class.

As long as <dependency>...</depencency> is there, mvn would complain
on "missing dependency".
The only sane way of excluding dependency "on demand" is maven profiles.
