will i2p update within the network with this method? i assume if it can, it would be running as root, which is not advised.

If it does not require permission from root to update, this is concerning. If it does, it is definitely a liability, because the verification of the file's integrity is at stake.

i2p has had serious security issues in the past, high profile ones, so I am a bit overcautious perhaps.

Fundamentally: Why is it asking for a password to startup?

Yeah i think there is definitely something funky with the i2p and i2pd repos on Arch, or something that i just don't understand. Best to avoid it, imo
