It sounds like you'd be better off self-hosting Jenkins. The other issue with GHA is they cap all runs at 6 hours.

Despite what people say about "maintaining" Jenkins (whatever that means to them personally) - you can set it up in an IaaC way including the jobs. You can migrate/create jobs en masse via its API (I did this about 10 years ago for a large US company converting from what was then called TFS)

I'll likely check out buildbot or just switch to gitlab

What problem does Jenkins solve? When we got jenkins working how we wanted it was a giant groovy script that was handling checkout manually.
