This severely limits how one can use rules though. Like if I am relying on rules to do various other things as well then it can be quite hard to massage them to also allow setting variables, since GitLab will only do anything with the first rule it matches.

Indeed, it is not super flexible, but in my experience it covers most needs. Check the other solution I propose - using a dotenv report. That one addressed the problem you describe, but introduces another one - these generated vars cannot be used in job definitions, only in scripts (and few other places)
