Gitlab's design is fine. Hiring new designers now will only lead them to change everything to prove themselves and make things worse and unpractical in the process, Google style.

I kind of dislike the change that happened a couple of months ago, where instead of going to CI straight from the homepage to see if the build in the only project that is actually using CI is successful, I now have to go to the project (they are sorted by the recent activity, so I have to chase the one with the CI), then into Pipelines, and, from that screen, I can't see which branch was built, so I need one more click to get into the Builds tab.

Other than that, I'm perfectly satisfied with the design.

Glad to hear you like the design overall. Would it help for your use case to add pipelines to the left side menu (global menu) so you can quickly go there?

There's an issue for that[1]. :) Add your vote if interested.

Please don't add too much stuff to the sidebar because of some isolated use cases.

Or maybe it might be a good idea to make the sidebar configurable so everyone can decide what they want to show up there.
