Err, this is exactly what we do. I might be wrong, but the only thing that's compulsory is the version of the referenced parent pom. If the child project has the same version (or the same groupId) you can just remove it from the child pom.
This is what we have been doing for something like 6 or seven releases of a multimodules project (20+ modules) with same version for the whole tree without any problem, but I have might have missed something.
