The recent update in #460 breaks HydroMT-SFINCS

[DirkEilander]

HydroMT version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
• I have checked that this bug exists on the latest version of HydroMT.

Reproducible Example

from hydromt import Model, raster

class MyModel(Model):
    def __init__(self, root=None, mode="r"):
        super().__init__(root, mode=mode)

    def read_maps(
        self,
    ) -> None:
        da = raster.full_from_transform(
            transform=[0.5, 0.0, 3.0, 0.0, -0.5, -9.0],
            shape=(4, 6),
        )
        # this will cause a recursion error in read-mode
        self.set_maps(da, name="test")
        # and is preferred over the current implementation
        # which does not make use of the checks in set_maps method
        self._maps["test"] = da

mod = MyModel(mode="r+")
mod.read_maps() # RecursionError 

Current behaviour

You get a RecursionError when using set methods inside read methods for any model component since #460
This is used a lot in plugins and the new implementation causes errors downstream, see e.g. https://github.com/Deltares/hydromt_sfincs/actions/runs/5797018073/job/15711743003

Desired behaviour

I prefer to use the set_ methods inside the read methods to avoid duplicating code that does checks on the data. For developers implementing hydromt for their model I've always explicitly advised to avoid setting directly using self._maps[name] = data for the same reason.
