It does sound like your solution is better in many ways than the

There's one thing that worries me, though: it requires there to be one
central server that can be used to do a redirect. That's a single point
of failure, which is risky in various ways. Would it be possible to take
all the logic and data required to choose a mirror and put them into apt
instead? Possibly as a second phase of development?
