Sounds like a good approach.

As noted elsewhere, this shouldn't be required.

Should we set additionalProperties: false here ?

Allowing multiple port nodes not grouped in a ports node has created
complexity, with very little gain. Should we forbid that going forward ?

Maybe a single blank line ?
