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.
