There are two types of hooks:

1. Pre-commit hooks that will stop anyone trying to merge/force push commits to the projects, in order to keep the history clean. These are install once, use forever. Zero maintenance after the initial period.

2. Post-commit hooks on the other projects / OR / external webservice/buildbot that will update the umbrella project like any existing Git mirror. Maintenance of this is either free (hooks) or very cheap (buildbot/cron jobs).

On both cases, the history is preserved at least within the update cycle, which shouldn't be more than 5 minutes, and will be the update cycle that buildbots will pick the commits anyway.
