You shouldn’t write complex yaml files. Keep it simple and yaml is great. Do complex stuff and you’ll hate your life.
If you write your own tooling then it's great. The vast majority of us are using other people's tooling and have to deal with their imposed complexity. I for one hate GitHub actions with a passion.
None of the complexity of GitHub actions would be solved with any other configuration language. It needs to be a full scripting language at minimum. The problems with GHA have nothing to do with yaml.
