Will you make httpredir point to a normal mirror so as not to break
systems relying on it? (Or even to the geolocalized DNS entries if we
still have that)
If yes, then it's certainly a sensible thing to do.
I'd like also to note that once we have proper by-hash package indices in
Debian too, it's entirely reasonable to rely on MirrorBrain as HTTP
redirector. I use it for Kali for more than 3 years already.

But I still haven't gotten round to package it properly for Debian... but
I will do that at some point.
Cheers,
