I can vouch for glab (the gitlab cli) - it works very well. We use it all the 
time at my work.

As I explained in my other recent email (3 alternatives) - strictly speaking, 
you can apply the same proposed workflow without Gitlab. Yes "milestones" is a 
Gitlab thing, but there are possibilities of using both Gitlab and "pure git" 
to achieve the same workflow.
