It is easy to create a merge request from a Gitlab mirror to the upstream Gitlab repository. I'm trying to use some of Gitlab's features to automate the mirroring, which now seems to be reserved for a higher tier.

I guess this is already an examined case, but I wanted to make sure, as many services, even open ones like GitLab or Docker, are changing and limiting many free features even for open source projects.
I would like to suggest that instead of using the GitLab domain, it may be better to use the FPC domain. This way, if in the future the team chooses to move to a self hosted GitLab version, the posts, links, and many messages will continue to work.

I agree with this sentiment...
What would be involved on the technical side to not rely on third party websites to host repositories ?
Is it a matter of not having access to something similar to what sourceforge or Gitlab has on their websites?

Gitlab is not just repo usage with git, but also issue tracker and used to browse the repo. (say what viewvc was in the old system)

What would be involved with moving everything from gitlab to a fpc controlled domain? Is it possible?

Yes, it probably is. But it is a *load of work(both migration and maintenance), and the main objective of using gitlab was to reduce maintenance.
So not going to happen until there are really, *really* strong reasons for it.
