I've left github for personal projects (still need it for work for now), and moved to Gitlab. Gitlab is honestly not any better when thinking about european alternatives (it's also US), and it is not completely open-source either, but the nice european alternative Codeberg is only for open-source projects and doesn't really tolerate or give an option to pay to host non-opensource projects.
I would pay for codeberg if they allowed non-opensource repositories, but they have stated that codeberg does not really allow non-opensource projects. I'm a FOSS enthusiast and donate my time and money to FOSS, but not everything I make is FOSS.
I know, I could selfhost Forgejo, but it would truly be great to have, say, EU funded open code repository like Github/GitLab with possibility to pay to host non-opensource projects or something.
Aren't there any managed Forgejo instances?
There are managed Gitlab instances:

Gitlab is a publicly traded US company, GTLB on the Nasdaq.
