You are free to run your machines openSUSE machines in any way you like. But I am also free to point out that it is a bad decision to depend on an OBS devel project repositories that are known to not have an archive, where did remove them repeatedly, and said so usually long in advance.
Nobody is suggesting to keep old files in OBS.
You, should not rely on development repository builds to remain available in perpetuity. hw-probe is part of openSUSE Leap 15.5 and 15.6 and is maintained there. You should report any bugs that prevent you from upgrading.
I seem to recall having reported a bug on hw-probe years ago, it crashed.
So what am I suppose to do when I can't upgrade?
You could engage a local expert, possibly in a LUG. And of course our fabulous community that will get you to a maintained release.

Recently someone posted about a machine that can not be upgraded to 15.6 because the media will not boot. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
