Big PRs/MRs only bring pain. They result in LGTM code reviews and are a nightmare when they become stale. At some point I started to split bigger PRs/MRs in smaller ones and basically chaining them. This way I can release code incrementally with more confidence and have better code reviews. Then I found the thing I was doing had a name, “stacked diffs”. Most solutions that exist target github, but I can replicate the work flow on gitlab by targeting the branch it depends on. When a branch is merged to master, all the other branches, that are dependent, target master automatically.
