Is it possible to use such configuration? Or there are no advatages between ssh:// and git://?

Git can use four distinct protocols to transfer data: Local, HTTP, Secure Shell (SSH) and Git.
While SSH is usually considered more secure, for basic usage of Github, HTTPS authentication with a password is acceptable enough. In fact, Github themselves defaults to and recommends most people use HTTPS.
Yes, it does. However, the URL bar in github web page no loner have git protocol for copying the URL to clipboard. You have to replace https:// with git:// by yourself.
Also, git protocol use port 9418. Make sure you can use this port.
git protocol is not encrypted, but it is faster than https.
git protocol is read-only in github. You cannot push to it via git protocol.

As of writing this answer, GitHub does support the git:// protocol as read-only. It is the only supported protocol that is not encrypted or secured with keyed access.
As of March 15, 2022, GitHub will no longer support the git:// protocol. As detailed in a blog post, there will be brownout periods leading up to the permanent removal of support for the git:// protocol.
