Our team uses Gitlab. I think we can do fine without Gitlab for a day. It's not like you need it constantly when developing.

I think we can do fine without Gitlab for a day.

This sounds to me like you've not really bought in to the peripheral software project tools Gitlab offers like boards, issue tracking, CI/CD for running tests, etc. In which case, Gitlab seems a bit like overkill. Running your own git remote is pretty straightforward.

We use a self-hosted Jenkins for CI/CD, tests. Does Gitlab offer anything substantially better in this regard? I am open to moving away from Jenkins but only if it is better. Jenkins is easy to maintain and relatively simple to configure.
Depends on the day (it's the day we're supposed to release new version!), size of the team, etc It's a devops platform, not just source control.

Disclaimer: we use self hosted gitlab at work.
