downloads npm package version 1.4.24, then when querying the version from the CLI it returns 2.1.4 instead.

The Homebrew formula for Node is written to bootstrap with an old version of npm, and then install the newest stable version, which you can see it doing in the npm install --global npm@latest --prefix /usr/local. How is this unreliable? It seems pretty safe to me.
