Description

Although the minimum Maven version can be specified via plugin's pom's prerequisites (https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Prerequisites), there is currently no element for this on the plugin descriptor XML content.

I would suggest to slightly expand the plugin descriptor to include an element there as well. If such an element is found it should take precedence over plugin pom prerequisites.
