would a self-hosted all-in-one solution be a viable alternative that doesn't split these all up into separate cloud hosted apps? it's been years since i've explored anything other than github/gitlab/etc.

Fossil does all of this, and has a better VCS for my use case than git does. https://fossil-scm.org

Right? Yeah, everything's decoupled and "flexible", but if your stack is dependent on half a dozen different third parties uninterested or uninvested in your project, you gotta watch like a hawk for when those services decide they need to be worse and charge more.

Like a hawk? If GitHub was down while you slept, would you notice?

Those third parties will be more invested in you as a customer than GitHub is.
