I assume that's the goal of the repo, but there is no guarantee that
it does.

The minimals (or Standalone distribution) contain more than just
that repository. Among other things it provides the binaries, an
update mechanism, fonts, third-party modules and MetaPost modules.
Check your context directory, the repo provides the contents of
texmf-context.
Sure, you can take a current Standalone distribution and replace the
shipped texmf-context with the git repo (which is very handy for
testing and bisecting BTW) but it's not usable for production and
will break after a while. If the other files (especially LuaTeX and
3rd party modules) get out of sync you'll run into errors no one
else can reproduce.
