This is really not my experience with Cloud Run at all. We've found it to actually be quite cost effective for a lot of different types of systems. For example, we ended up helping a customer migrate a ~$5B/year ecommerce platform onto it (mostly Java/Spring and Typescript services). We originally told them they should target GKE but they were adamant about serverless and it ended up being a perfect fit. They were paying like $5k/mo which is absurdly cheap for a platform generating that kind of revenue.

I guess it depends on the nature of each workload, but for businesses that tend to "follow the sun" I've found it to be a great solution, especially when you consider how little operations overhead there is with it.
