> IMO it might be a good idea to store binary assets in Git from a "history management" point of view.

You can't diff them, just see that they changed. If you have versions in the filename of the object that helps but isn't great from an auditing perspective. People change filenames, and if someone alters or tampers with the file it's hard to tell. You might argue that this is also possible if you fetch the file somewhere or install a package and link against it, but you have a better audit trail, packages can (should) also be signed.
