It's not a lot of trouble. To be fair my GitLab instance isn't setup for large numbers of public contributors. I have a somewhat limited network connection and work on projects that often have large-ish codebases, building Docker images, etc.... and I do 90% of that on my home network (local servers, storage, etc....). So running GitLab locally allows me (and a few other folks) to get all those nice features without relying on the world facing internet connection and without having lots of delays moving large files up and down...
