You would lose the ability to do transparent caching which I agree is rather annoying, but I think most environments where that sort of caching occurs (mostly corporate and school networks) also have the means to explicitly configure client machines to use an internal caching mirror.

Those environments tend to MITM https traffic as well. At least the companies I've worked for can.
Those companies really need to learn what privacy means.
You could run a caching mirror for such things, such as artifactory for example.
