Any good alternatives to Jira, locally hosted without a huge licence cost?

Bugzilla. Seriously.

Can be easily extended and unneeded fields can be disabled via template.

We use it since 20 years at a 6000 heads company and it's totally fine.

Honestly the best issue tracker I've used so far is Phabricator (now Phorge). It would be a bit weird to use it just for issues though, and tbh I'm not sure I would recommend it as a forge because it has approximately no CI support.
