This is a choice, whether you want to put the well-known URL in the config (advantage: more stable, disadvantage: slower, because 1 more redirect), or the actual URL. Both is OK, as long as you understand the implications.

My concern with using the actual URL is that it could change in a future Nextcloud (or Mail in a Box) update and someone may forget to update this config file, but I would be fine with going either way.

Yes, I guessed so. Note that clients will save the URL once configured, so even if you update the config file, the clients will not update it, so you essentially cannot ever change the URL.

You could redirect the old to the new URL, if you need to change it, which is no worse than the redirect now.

I'm also fine either way, as long as the consequences are understood. I leave it to the maintainers of mail-in-a-box, because they'll have to maintain it.
