GitHub Actions is like Microsoft Teams. Nobody who knows better wants to use it, but it's slightly better than what most did before (email/jenkins/nothing) and came with the thing you're already using. At least your boss thinks it's better. And it's such a good deal!
A 1000% yes, because it means the default experice most devs have of CI is using ephemeral runners which is a massive win for security and build rot.
