Oh jesus christ. I feel for you dude.
We evaluated GHA, and we still are trying to use it, but there is a barrage of problems and limitations, including cost, lack of functionality, and technical issues. It's really only suitable (at scale) for linting, or generating Changelogs, or something else trivial. I use it in my OSS projects to run tests, and it's okay for that (though impossible to just tail a build log when it's large)
Drone.io is still an amazingly effective system that matches GHA (and has _crazy_ features like build parameters) but is more flexible. Of course you'll have to pay for commercial licenses, but if it's between paying for GHA or Drone, I highly recommend Drone instead. Drone is stupidly easy to maintain (infrastructure-wise).
