I appreciate the mirroring of the binaries (based on recent GitPackages
discussion)....however this still makes me wonder why is are these mirrored
binaries needed and why not just use another existing (maven) repository
with the artifacts?

Using these repositories could address having newer already built
artifacts.

If it they are unavailable (raising a ticket to resolve that), then for
legacy support I could see using it until such time as an alternative
artifact can be identified and/or replacing the older dependency.
