1. Is there any way to generate the .SRCINFO file without doing the tar/untar workaround?

mksrcinfo from pkgbuild-introspection-git. You can easily use it to add it to all commmits with git filter-branch --tree-filter

2. Why is .SRCINFO even needed? Why can't AUR parse the raw PKGBUILD?

There are no decent bash parsers out there. To get real info, they would have to be sourced/executed, which is a huge security risk.
