I am not an expert in coding, so I can not give you an answer within that area.
One thing I can say certainly, is that Gitlab is not owned by Microsoft, which is great.
Their past with antitrust/fraud is not something, you should forget.
Open Source is a great thing, we all should embrace.

GitLab has lots of features available even in the Free plan, like pages, pipelines and continuous integration, issue boards, wikis, time tracking. I really like that GitLab offers free private repositories and much more space per repository comparing to other Git repository management tools. Another significant point is that GitLab is under constant development, so new features appear on a constant periodicity.

That's not how I read this:

Their CEO sent an email around to all staff stating as such after GitHub was revealed to be doing same. Not sure if that predates the link above but given this is the same dumpster fire of a company that requires women in sales to wear short skirts and heels (https://www.theregister.com/2020/02/06/gitlab_sales_women/) and had planned to implement deep user surveillance until widespread public outcry (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/growth/product/-/issues/164), I would suggest anything they say publicly that makes them seem legit has no direct correlation with their internal policy.

GitLab always felt like a leader in the source control game, although GitHub is catching up.
I run a personal GitLab CE instance for several years, it's great especially if you want to have full control over your Repos. It also supports mirroring to Github, and has a ton of features, is true that the requirements have increased a bit since it first started, but even with limited resources configured with many of the features disabled it runs well.
Never had a single issue... it's super fast
