And when speaking about tests, isn't it possible to verify that each URL is not a composite repo?

It would be possible, but checking that a repo isn't a composite doesn't validate that its content are immutable. Some repositories contributed have their content growing (cumulative build output) and some others have content overwritten by newer build.
The benefit of choosing version is that it keeps your project free to use whatever mechanism it prefers for publication, composite, "regular" repositories with single version, "regular" repositories with mutliple versions... So you don't had effort in releng for your project; instead you had effort for the contribution to SimRel. It basically keeps the SimRel work in SimRel rpo, which is IMO more consistent than having SimRel adding constraints on project's repositories layout.
