Gitlab has become quite hostile and I would not be surprise if they stop supporting their open source version. Even if you want to pay, the starting price is quite high and there is only one price now and for everything else you need to make a "deal" with them.

It is an enterprise product. Enterprise products are not cheap. Also, you should have certain scale to buy an enterprise platform. By setting certain price, they expect you as a business to have scale as there are support and service level agreements the org wants to adhere to, it is also an investment from the org side.

It is pretty common playbook.

Hmm. I work at a state government agency that uses GitLab. Should we be looking for a different source control supplier? I know we host it internally (our agency has a rather strict anti-cloud policy), and do pay some for support, so we might not be in the same situation as the clients/customers using the free version.

My current company also uses GitLab, but the amount of projects we have would be hard to migrate. I don't think we'll be moving anytime soon.

Try running forgejo for your own projects, see what you think of it. Doing the research beforehand helps a ton for your DevOps team.

		Biggest blocker with forgejo is that currently it isn't possible to create "projects" or "subfolders" like in gitlab.

I don't think Gitlab have ever moved functionality from Community to any paid version, but you should understand carefully if the functions in the paid (and not open) versions of Gitlab would ever come on your radar. It's not unlikely as user numbers and user organisations increase. It'll be exactly at the point switching to eg Forgejo will be painful enough to pay. Switching when still small is easier.
