After more days testing I do still encounter a delay part way (same part?) through the board package occasionally (once in 3days, less than one in 20 compared to "very often" before url change), which then delays my ability to check manually which packages need updating etc (can't use before BSP or Updatable interface is broken), but it is far less often and quicker to resolve.
I still believe the CDN url helps, but this image illustrates what happens occasionally, and I see for about 10-15seconds when loading the IDE:
