My use case is a client which caches OAuth2 access tokens for authentication. When the access token expires, the client gets a new one using a refresh token.

Unfortunately, the only surefire way to know the access token has expired is to use it until authentication fails. So the client needs a way to know when authentication failed, and GIT_EAUTH seems to be the right error code to check for.
