Publishing fails for `com.gradleup.shadow ` plugin versions >=8.3.2 

### Expected and Results

Publishing should work as expected (as with versions prior to 8.3.2) OR some guidelines should be provided how to handle publishing after #956 was introduced (so chances are this is not a bug but rather expected behavior). 

### Related environment and versions

Enviroment: Linux with JDK 17 and Gradle 8.10.2:
