I've never seen it actually "break".

The only times it's not working is because YouTube changed something and you need to download a new version which works pretty good with the appropriate repo in F-Droid.

Did they fix that you have to update it only through GitHub?

I don't know when this was the case but it hasn't been since I've been using it.

I just added the repo to F-Droid: https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/

It tells me that there is a new version. It downloads it from somewhere and installs it. It could be GitHub but I don't know.
