My question would be, if you're only archiving repos, why do you need a forge?
A simple git clone <repo> to any your archival directory would be enough to store them, there's no need for you to use a forge software.

Are there any other features of gitea you use?

I like having the codebase in an easily presentable way. Git clone with a cron job would work fine but doesn’t tickle my fancy enough.

If you mean a (read-only) web interface, there's also cgit and gitweb.

I mean, it's your party and if Gitea works for you, that's great. It still is a bigger piece of software than what you need (or at least what you've told so far), it's up to you to determine if you're fine with that.

You can rest assured. I’m fine with it.
