is authenticated like when you use a private key with git clone

Yes

also this might be terrible if you subscribe to filter lists on raw github in ublock or adguard

Yes exactly why this is actually quite problematic. There's a lot of HTTPS Git pull remotes around and random software that uses raw.githubusercontent.com to fetch data. All of that is now subject to the 60 req/hr limit and not all of it will be easy to fix.
