Just to look at an alternative, I have made some tests using cirrus-ci instead of the vm based runner directly under GHA. That does seem a lot smoother, but I'm not sure how you would look at having another CI service for FreeBSD? It's naturally not as well integrated into GitHub as the runners they provide, but does reflect back success/failure status and hooks into the checks for pull requests.

I'd be interested in hearing your opinions on such an approach.
