Fair enough if you've some development environment automation and you want the CI to run it as well so CI is consistent with local development.
Don't know exactly what your doing but others(myself included) are using Mise or Nix on a per project basis to automate the development environment setup and that works well on GitHub Actions.
But I don't think useradd taking 30's on GitHub Actions is a bug or something they need to fix, they've explained why. Unsure about the sudo issues, did not read it carefully.

Oh we don't even run it in applications' CI, the environment automation is an entirely separate CI workflow. The intention isn't consistency between dev/CI, the environment automation CI effectively just serves to ensure that the automations actually run without error, and adds some explicit responsibility for anyone who's adding a new dependency.

Yeah, agreed. Tangential, our dev setup CI is fairly slow, which tends to be fine - it runs a couple orders of magnitude less frequently than our app CI.
