That is what I really wanted to avoid, because using separate jar for
entities is not so comfortable :/
If I would do that - where am I suppose to place persistence.xml file?
Inside that jar, so it would be available for all EJB modules or each
module has to declare its own persistence.xml and specify every entity
class - one by one inside its own PU?

This is really strange to me. Session beans are inside EJB module and
you can call them from everywhere... I can't see why this is not the
case with entity manager.
