I've been running the GitLab Omnibus for 4 years now. Easiest upgrades ever. Never once had a bad update that required manual workarounds.

We run a self-hosted Gitlab Premium instance installed with Omnibus for 30 devs and we actually install Gitlab updates on a cron.

Had two upgrades that needed minor manual intervention in 5 years. Uptime better than Github despite the #yolo approach.
