This. As someone who migrated an organization's repos from a self hosted Git server to GitHub (begrudgingly) and then back to a self hosted Git server again when it didn't meet the business needs ... emphatically this.

How painful is the setup and general maintenance/security?
I'm considering the idea but I just don't want to deal with people abusing exploits in the actions that give them access to my LAN.
If you're working with a team, you can only let certain people trigger checks
Do formatting and linting and such autofix issues automatically as part of pre-commit checks. That way they don't end up as part of the CI.
If it's open source I'd still add it, because a lot of people can't follow basic instructions.
They don't have to follow anything except try to commit their changes. Won't be possible even locally if linting or typechecking fail.
Pre-commit hooks can’t be installed automatically and most people won’t even know they exist.
