As of version 5.2.1, just released, I added a new method in the WebDriverManager API to avoid the default behavior:

WebDriver driver = WebDriverManager.chromedriver().avoidShutdownHook().create();

As explained in the doc, this API method is equivalen to the configuration key wdm.avoidShutdownHook.
