Thats no longer the case.

From http://community.jboss.org/en/tools/blog/2011/06/23/m2eclipse-wtp-0130-new-noteworthy:
"Experimental war overlay support

Finally, after all these years, m2e-wtp offers support for maven war overlays…."

It's out there and ready for feedback and other contributions to make it better.
