Gitlab is so absurdly expensive that I’ve basically given up on ever using them. The stupid thing is I don’t need 90% of their ultimate features, but I do want

  Yes this is the weird part. I have a very hard time thinking of an organization that would need ultimate features for even 30% of its staff. It's usually super niche features, or features that don't necessarily make sense on an individual seat level but that you have to pay for for every user. It makes the value proposition very hard to see, because sure generating security reporting and auditing are nice but why would we want to have that for every user? The only way to actually manage cost would be to have separate instances for teams which is a nightmare for selfhosting. Especially with the weekly update schedule lol To me, a flat instance tier pricing + per seat cost would make so much more sense.
