As someone who used Jira and BitBucket quite a bit: The mistake was using the cloud version. It's really a shame that Atlassian have price almost everyone out of their self-hosted solutions, because those where always much faster. I'm sure that Atlassian understands the business case better than I do, but I just don't see the point of their offerings when I can't afford on-prem. The main selling point for us was always: "We do not want this data on any servers we do not control, and Atlassian products allows us to do that". Now you need to be able to afford a data center licens, and I can't imagine those sell to well, other that to existing customers who now have no choice.
