As a followup: Is there any need or advantage to running both the prototype and hyperkitty archivers?
Only if you want to keep all the raw messages. HyperKitty only stores the message_id, subject, date, in_reply_to and sender information. Other header information is not stored in HyperKitty. The prototype archiver is intended to store messages to be delivered to some other third party archiver.
I did an installation following the venv directions, and it looks as though the system now uses both archivers.
If this is a duplication of effort and storage, is it safe to disable the prototype archiver like this:
# /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg .. [archiver.prototype] enable: no
and then delete anything under here?
/opt/mailman/mm/var/archives/prototype/
Yes, but you also have to go through all the lists Settings -> Archiving pages and uncheck prototype under Active archivers. You could also do this with a database query like
UPDATE listarchiver SET _is_enabled = 'f' WHERE name = 'prototype';
