" Note that at this point, you're limited to jumping back to older versions of iOS 14; you need Apple-signed versions of iOS if you have any hope of installing them on your phone, and Apple has stopped signing anything from iOS 13 or earlier."
Every time you install any version of iOS it phones home to Apple to get a signing key. Apple is very aggressive about not signing anything much older than the latest version, so by legit means it isn't possible.

Is there an easy way of re-installing a legacy iOS on an old iPad? Someone must have them archived somewhere?
I've inherited an iPad mini that's been over-updated and it's unusable, I'm sure going back to iOS 8 will sort it out
