It’s not just 2GB – I’m running a Gitlab with essentially 2-3 users and activity every few days, and it completely maxes an entire core and uses 6GB RAM constantly.

So what does it do when it uses all that CPU despite the lack of requests coming in? Maybe you have misconfigured some periodic job like backup?
I'm using their official helm chart, it's just idling. Sidekiq is doing nothing, the server is serving no requests - I have no idea how it manages to spend so much time on nothing.
The helm chart is deprecated. Use their omnibus package, it's very stable.
The helm chart "gitlab" is deprecated, the helm chart "gitlab-omnibus" is currently recommended, and the helm chart "cloud native gitlab" is going to be recommended in the near future - a GitLab employee answered me a few hours ago in this thread :)

I'm using the gitlab-omnibus one.
