Aside from a second point of failure, how does this integrate with anything? When you push, what piece of software pushes what where? And who pays?

You can put this sort of build framework together with whatever tool you're using (gradle, maven, rake, grunt etc).
The idea isn't to shove everything into a storage bucket, but to assemble a toolchain using components that are fit for purpose. Git is fundamentally not fit for purpose as an artifact repository. There are tools that are.
