How are we supposed to maintain and patch any servers installed from source code?
They are all outside the package management system. That's fine for a few systems, but not for more than 5 per small business.
How is maintenance integrated with existing, platform, maintenance systems?
This guide does not install Gitea from source, it installs Gitea from binary. Gitea does not provide Ubuntu packages and upgrading the binary version is very easy. To upgrade Gitea, you simply download the binary that you want to upgrade to and restart the service. E.g. to upgrade to a fictional future version 1.12.2, all you do is:
wget https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.12.2/gitea-1.12.2-linux-amd64
cp gitea-1.12.2-linux-amd64 /usr/bin/gitea
systemctl restart gitea.service
