Fully agree, have some experiences.

Friendly advice: treat Fdroid like any other development dependency and try to be in control rather than being dependent: run your own f-droid repo which people can add to their Fdroid app as a source.

Agreed. Using GitHub is already a better option since it's eliminating another party (Fdroid).
Self-hosting a F-Droid repo means users can easily get automatic updates, which is important for security.
But it requires self hosting.
Would it be possible to host an fdroid repo on GitHub pages?
I don't see any reason why not. After all, GitHub pages is a repo, which you can upload an APK to.
