I wish GitLab would take whatever resources this has and put them all on site reliability.

They have a ton of open positions listed, but none are for Site Reliability Engineer.

Frequent slow requests and 5xx errors keep me from giving GitLab a real try.

Getting GitLab.com reliable is a top priority. We are hiring multiple SREs and https://jobs.lever.co/gitlab/a9ec2996-b7b6-4d87-aed0-1fc2ce3... is on our jobs page.
And performance. I migrated our project from Gitlab to Githab exactly because of how excruciatingly slow PR workflow was (serialized game assets routinely have changesets in tens of thousands of lines).
Git-fat/GFS and treating assets as binary would seem to be the solution here. There's no way you can review tens of thousands of lines.
When they're in tens of thousands, no. But quite often files of the same format, and even the same files have just a couple of changes that are definitely reviewable.
You can't have a gazillion features and be stable. I think it's quite clear which direction Gitlab is going.
