Your setup could also have a security issue.

What's the attack surface of a git linux account that doesn't have a shell and can only log on through ssh with a key from whitelisted IPs in a firewall? Compare that attack surface with that of a complicated web app like gitlab.

Sure, but you could control access to the Web app, too? E.g. allow only certain VPN accounts to access it? There are lots of ways to manage attack surfaces.
