Just to be absolutely certain, I checked the POM schema [1]. Only 1
<parent> is allowed.

If we thought to check, it would be to verify something, and if we knew what needed to be used, we'd probably have put it into our parent to lock it, and so we're back where we started. If we don't lock the version of something, we're basically stipulating that the transitively included version must be acceptable.

Absolutely.  But I think the issue is just whether Maven conveys the
transitive dependencies properly, from the perspective of the
dependency itself.
