We did see users who had their EJB module packaged with jars inside a
jar and were surprised it's not supported.

The only current option is to use a reference by adding a Class-Path attribute to the Manifest file of the EJB .jar file (or another referenced archive) but this is not portable as it requires to place referenced library in the specific location of the application server file system (in case that .jar file is not used from its original location).
