I mean, I think that'd tell you more than GitHub stars, no? Or at least complement the GitHub stars metric? The downloads would be more useful than stars in the way that it's more likely to be used once someone has downloaded. But so many people use stars as a way to bookmark something they find interesting.

That might be true, but once people start downloading the binaries automatically, e.g. in their CI/CD, that doesn't say anything anymore...
