Have you run into issues? Did you love it? How was it/

Most companies will never have a monorepo at the level of these bigger companies. So I personally don't think most people need to worry about the limitations of github/lab as platforms.
However if you happen to be having those kinds of issues, I think looking at what the big companies are doing and/or starting to split things up makes sense.
There's also alternatives with custom ci jobs within non GitHub/lab within the git universe that may help out with those sorts of operations. I know actions still feel very beta in some toolsets so it may be easier/more useful to run your own arch. I've been enjoying forgeo/gitea for example, but it's not like you can't do the same with girlab runners or GitHub enterprise. Depends on use case.

Why would anyone subject themselves to explore nonstandard and improvised solutions to try to fit a usecase that fails to meet your needs to a tool that was not designed to support it?
Do people enjoy creating their own problems just to complain about them?
