Well, I also did something like: ... update_index -s 1970-01-01T00:00:00 That may have rather helped, but not 100% sure if that's what did it. Notably, both before and after that, I could still get to older items in archive by downloading the entire archive, or just clicking on "older" from an individual archive item to navigate to older and older items. But it wouldn't show year indexes for the older years ... even after the above noted reindexing and reloading the web page ... until a bit later, they popped up into existence there - so seems like somehow it finally settled in place, and now they can be properly navigated to that way - notably directly via the now visible older years.
So, the balug-test@lists.balug.org archives are looking much better now, and most notably the web interface to access them. Almost have the archive imports done. The trickier one I still have to do, since Mailman 3 apparently doesn't provide any particularly non-trivial and well supported and documented way to rename a mail list, still have the archive of the balug-test3@lists.balug.org list to import into balug-test@lists.balug.org ... but the tricky part is getting a 100% raw export/dump of it, since the download does some @ --> (a) obfuscation that's not present in the actual raw data - which does exist in the database. Meantime, the balug-test3@lists.balug.org archive bits are browsable and downloadable (with that bit of obfuscation): https://lists.balug.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/balug-test3@lists.balug.org... but that list is mostly otherwise locked down, as at this point it shouldn't have any new posts or subscription or membership changes (it was only intended as temporary until it and all of the old balug-test@lists.balug.org stuff is migrated from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3.

So, seems it accepted and indexed them ... but for some reason isn't yet showing them in hyperkitty - though it lets me download them from the archive.
You've probably tried this already, but:
mailman-web update_index -h
or
mailman-web update_index_one_list -h
