I mean, it is so unreliable that you would get better uptime than GitHub if you self-hosted your own Git repository instead of use GitHub. Even open-source projects like RedoxOS, GNOME, KDE, ReactOS, etc are doing just fine without worrying about GitHub's unreliability.
Better than 'centralizing everything to GitHub' as I predicted years ago. [0]
I worked at a small unicorn (~150 engineers when I started, 400 when I left) several years ago; we ran our own Github Enterprise solely for this reason.
It was a pain in the ass to set-up, but mostly hand-off to keep it running. I think we had roughly one degradation event a year (something went wrong with an update), and they were brief.
AGI decided human collaboration is no longer necessary, the only logical course of action was to shut down github and re-route the resources to assembling the doomsday device

And as expected, something in GitHub goes down every month. [1]

They can't manage to go a week without some incident.
