I very much feel like this as well (on both counts), especially about CI.

I'd love to hear any strategies folksight have for coping with this and actually making decisions without looking into every single option, if that's a thing.

What I like to do sometimes is contact the support of the apps I'm hesitating on. Whichever is most responsive/helpful wins, as it's a good sign they actually care.

I hadn't thought of that, but it sounds like a useful thing to test out. Thanks!

One tactic is to try one for 30m; if you can't get it working in that time, try another. Obviously biases toward good "getting started" tutorial and ease of adoption.
