Ask HN: Anyone use GitHub Issues at their company?

I've used Jira (with integration to GitHub) at every company I've worked at. However, over the last couple of years, I noticed GitHub has been investing in their project management features.

I've seen some open source projects leverage GitHub Issues (https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues and https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues), but it just looks really unorganized compared to Jira (possible bias because I'm new to GitHub Issues).

Looking to get some thoughts on GitHub vs Jira for project management. We're a startup looking specifically at the following features: bug reporting, sprint/epic management, release management (from development, to code review, to QE verification, to release), and integration with non-engineering teams (ie, letting customer support/customer success tag issues that customers have brought up).
