I'm nobody but my two cents is that this falls under the category of things we shouldn't worry about because there isn't much we can do about it. I am sure Gitlab is concerned but I would say it doesn't matter because this is a problem you can probably throw hardware at (repo A going down will likely not affect most repo B users). I imagine of course gitlab.com would want to make the most of the hardware it has and I'd love to read about the cost of porting gitlab to a "more efficient" language implementation but I hope they're more concerned about delivering value to users than worrying about how to fend off competition.
This might be unpopular here but I hope Gitlab does all it can to keep their cost low even if it means slightly lower salaries.
