That works, but wouldn't the "correct" way be to define the getCacheMaxAge method?

@Jdrupal, "correct" would be to place the cache metadata as close as possible to the data it is connected to. If you put data in a render array then place the cache metadata in the same render array. For nested arrays you can bubble up metadata from multiple places. The block plugin implements the same cache interface like any other plugin type and the methods to return cache metadata are mainly used in plugins which don't return rendered output.
