My question would be, if you’re only archiving repos, why do you need a forge?
A simple git clone <repo> to any your archival directory would be enough to store them, there’s no need for you to use a forge software.
If you mean a (read-only) web interface, there’s also cgit and gitweb.
I mean, it’s your party and if Gitea works for you, that’s great. It still is a bigger piece of software than what you need (or at least what you’ve told so far), it’s up to you to determine if you’re fine with that.

I like having the codebase in an easily presentable way. Git clone with a cron job would work fine but doesn’t tickle my fancy enough.

You can rest assured. I’m fine with it.
