Steps to reproduce

1. add more posts to trigger paginated view
2. see the result

Thanks for reporting. I agree that the paginated pages should inherit the metadata from the blog index page. Fixed in squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders@a9af801412007f99f384ced687dc09c1bfeb4b69. Additionally, there's a new setting called pagination_keep_content, that specifies whether the paginated pages should also include the content of the blog/index.md, defaulting to false:

plugins:
  - blog:
      pagination_keep_content: true

The fix was released as part of 8.5.3+insiders-4.24.0.
