I would agree that it would be a good solution, except for the next bullet in the same document: "The above mechanism won’t work for private archives since the archives are gated with password and without a Mailman 2 list, there is no password. You can however import them to Mailman 3."
Since keeping private lists private is also a requirement, that pretty much means rolling our own auth system on top of Mailman 3 or creating a bunch of HTTP redirect rules.

According to the upgrade guide ( https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html#other-considerations): "If you need your URLs for Mailman 2 archives to work, you can keep the HTML files generated for the archives around and your web server configuration for the archives intact (possibly with a notice to viewers that it is now a read-only archive, see this list https://mail.python.org/pipermail/security-sig/ for example)."
Here's an example: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/security-sig/ (with a notice).
It means, the old archives will stay the same (and accessible/searchable with the new interface as well) but new mails won't get added there to the old archives. I think that's a good compromise.

yes - those links are thrown around as if they're archival. How will the change affect links to past messages? Will someone need to construct a redirect farm?

Glad to hear this is moving forward!
Keeping archive links working, for both public and private lists, should be a requirement. There's a lot of institutional knowledge stored in the mailing list archives, and it's very important to keep that around.
