This is a bad idea. Really. typo3/cms-composer-installers is required 
and will very likely play a central role in the future. Disabling it 
like that means being on your own figuring out how to deal with TYPO3 
and composer.

We are currently really working hard to improve composer support in 
TYPO3 an merged a crutial change, which basically makes it possible to 
have arbitrary vendor directories configured in your root composer.json.

In the future, we will evaluate some basic configuration from the extra 
section to have a little bit more flexibility in the directory layout.
Until then, you either stick with the recommended directory structure 
ore reinvent the wheel for yourself again (if you have enough time to 
experiment, the latter is fine of course, but don't expect any support 
from our side in this case).

If you want to support our work, feel free to contact us here, via email 
or on Slack.

Kind regards,
Helmut
