However, I'm already close to proposing something vastly different from this, dropping most of these variables as they are to make the local executions pretty much >95% compatible to what happens in GitLab and overriding these shell variables simply isn't part of it because it only makes sense right now, but I think with the changes I have it'll only make sense in interactive container shell sessions in which case it's left to the developer to set and pass the right options IMO.
