I'm sad as DevOps Engineer I only have one upvote to give. YAGNI needs to be every team motto.

We tried caching at several companies. Outside node builds, it was never worth it. Horray, our .Net builds took 15 seconds instead of 4 Minutes. Eventually you realized no one cared since we averaged deployments every 4 days outside of outages and time being burned by it just wasn't there.

Pulling my entire repository clean from source control takes longer than your entire uncached pipeline.

A clean build on a 16 core machine with an SSD and a GB network is about 4 hours including checkout.

Our cached builds are 15 minutes including deployment.
