Summary
An excellent summary is provided in filecoin-project/lotus#12527 (comment)
tl;dr we shouldn't rely on drand providing endpoints for historical beacons. It's both not scalable, incorrect in certain epochs and not reliable.
The downside of this is reduced performance when requesting beacon entries for really old epochs, e.g., first epoch of calibnet.
