Filling out forms to get CI runners means no serious users will be attracted.

I think this will have opposite effect. Only serious users will be willing to fill out forms and casual users will be put off by the bureaucracy. I agree that it is a downside though. In a perfect world, there would be no forms to fill in.

The problem with CI is that the internet is full of not-nice people who will use free compute to mine crypto. Gitlab had problems with this abuse and requires credit card details.
