As former Salsa admin, I might be able give some insight in that.

GitLab is only so much able to scale vertically.  Instead you need to
scale all of that horizontally.  With this you can get amazing things
out of it.  Just remember that gitlab.com is three to four magnitudes
larger.

We even had a plan to do that somewhat at that time, but in the end it
failed due to external circumstances.

It is not so much the problem of throwing money.  It's disagreements
between teams and how things can be made better.
