For reference, I came across this enhancement when drafting a first iteration of model family in Houdini. without this enhancement the code logic in my case will be interlaced.

Just my two cents. For the long term, it is better to have self.published_families since we would implement the custom node(i.e. the universal node) for publishing. If we have published families as method, it would help us to build that node as it allows users to decide which families to publish their instances. Although I am not quite sure about the roadmap of the universal node, I personally think that the `get_published_families implementation helps to build the structure of the custom node a little bit.

This has now been merged with #295 - I'll close it but feel free to re-open and transfer to ayon-houdini if some is still relevant.
