But GitLab already has repo mirroring built-in, what am I missing?

You're not missing anything. It does use GitLab's mirroring API. However, GitLab doesn't have any global mirroring settings, you need to set up each repo individually. The tool just saves you a huge bunch of clicking around and copy pasting auth tokens. Useful if you have a big collection of repos you'd like to mirror. And if you'd like every new public repo to be mirrored automatically.

it's a paid feature: not in community gitlab

Pushing from gitlab to another git host is free and in the community edition[1]. Pulling on the other hand is a paid feature.

If your project is open source on gitlab.com - you get all paid features for free.
