Since dlcdn.apache.org is the download URL provided by https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi , I think it is the better choice than using the Apache artifact repository.

FTR https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 is the URL provided by default by Apache Maven distribution in the super pom. So, it's the URL used by any default Apache Maven distribution and used by mvnw as well.
It's a CNAME to Maven Central.
If you prefer using something else, that is fine, but Maven Central will scale more and be more reliable than Apache Mirrors, which can fail and even be outdated.
Apache INFRA is always happy to have load reduced, so using Maven Central could reduce load on limited Apache INFRA resources.
Worth a try?
I've checked and older versions are there too its not just the latest version like it used to be.
(I've checked and the IPs are different to download so it is something different
I think this should be more reliable as its a mirror network instead of an archive? https://infra.apache.org/release-publishing.html
