GitHub tickets are fine.

Jira is complicated because PMs want it to do everything. It can, but there's no good reason for it.

The only thing GitHub can’t to is structure tickets. It would be nice to link issues together other than by referencing them.

This. So fucking much this. I've seen Jira used to plan waterfall schedules, to track meeting actions, and as a relational database. And all of them claiming to be "agile".

When used for the right thing in the right way, Jira is a great tool. It is people who make it shitty, and specifically the type of PM who doesn't understand the complexities, people or technical, of their work.
