Not really difficult per se, but more of anecdotal experience of needing dedicated time to maintain it internally. In a smaller company a few years back, whenever an update was due we would have some down time after it and someone had to spend a morning checking the server/dependencies/configs, this was around 2016.

Apart from that, a fact is that gitea is less resource hungry, so it runs well even in modest configurations.
