(Unfortunately it doesn't work without JavaScript though, similar to all the other privacy-respecting options I looked at, but if you know any other service which works without JS, let me know, I'll take a look at it)
I also migrated the sites from the old Codeberg Pages server to the new git-pages. The domains didn't change, you should still be able to access the sites as usual. In fact, they seems to load much faster now. But let me know if you have any issues accessing them.
