Wouldn't it be better to fix the ebuilds in the overlay to point at a current
URL for the tarball?

No, the ebuild should specify where to get the tarball.
Not sure these comments are what you're looking for but it sounds like you
just need to fix the ebuilds in your overlay to point at the distfiles in your
overlay as a SRC_URI.
Just my 2¢, disregard if too assumptive.
