AFAIU you can't switch to a shell runner unless you self host gitlab runner.

That is exactly my point. Gitlab uses docker runners because it is much simpler for them. But why should you be constrained by what's simpler for gitlab?
Well, it's free to use GitLab's hosted runners. You have to pay for your own build server if you want to host your own...
