Atlassian hasn't added much in the way of new features to the cloud instances, and the cloud options often take a lot longer to return queries.
And frankly, the "migrations" were never great... upgrading form some customized version of Atlassian (or just highly configured) to the cloud generally moved / changed things. Meh, sort of inevitable, but also really tedious. And don't get me started on how miserable "half-migrations" were where some teams moved and some didn't, or Jira moved but Confluence didn't. Those months in limbo with multiple logins and issues getting created in the wrong places were torture. Atlassian didn't really help customers with all this -- I was told they wouldn't even help us clone the Jira server so we could run migration tests... we had to do it live. (Something about Atlassian not offering another license without us paying for the test server as if it were a real server.)
Moving off Atlassian seems like a good call!
I pushed my org (at the time) to move to GitHub... we ran a test program, and it was successful, but I left the company before it was completed. I was so much happier with GitHub.
