I don't think that will work. The "bad" deps are still used in compile time and only not used in runtime.
The correct solution (until there are new releases that don't pull in the "bad" transitive deps) is to excluded them. And that probably can't be automated in any other way than providing means to detect them (the enforcer rule). What you could do is try this and release a beta or something and see what sort of problems people run into. Changing coordinates is always a problem.
