There's https://github.com/actions/cache though?
They're saying that unless you use actions, you don't get the cohesive cache and artifacts support. That replicating that in the cloud or locally is a PITA. Thus people are using the GH actions vendor specific tooling in that way.

Rebuilding at every stage shouldn't be too bad, with pinned dependencies. I can see problems with it, of course. That said, using a private code publishing location seems the correct path? That isn't too difficult to setup, is it?
That said, I'm still not clear on what difficulties folks are worried about. I'm also not clear I care on the mess of commits getting things working. The initial commits of getting anything working are almost always a mess. Such that worrying about that seems excessive.
As much as I like make it just doesn't work with the typical cloud stateless by default configs. If it works for you, your project is small enough and try to keep it this way.
