I am in the process of dismissing my private personal gitlab instance, and It's unlikely that I'll install something else. I plan using private repositories on the public gitlab.com.

The thing is, the killer feature for me is gitlab-ci (and private repositories). Using gitlab-ci along with my own runners (tied to a private group) along with git-crypt I should be able to do most things that I do in my small gitlab instance.

The thing is, alternatives are maybe lighter, but they don't pack as many features as gitlab and lack some kind of integrated-everywhere CI.

Leaving git, I'm not even considering that.
