A GitLab droplet on Digital Ocean should run you only $10/month and literally sets up in ~10 min.

Then you've just shifted the problem from GitHub being down to a VPS you've spent 10 minutes maintaining being down.

They're not GitHub. i.e. The chance of GitHub and your GitLab instance on DO going down simultaneously is very slim. Spend an extra $10/month and you can set up another DO server in another data-center, and reduce the odds of simultaneous failure even further.
