You're right. The UX in GitLab's admin settings has lots of room for improvement. The good news here is that we now have a product manager devoted to this area, and have a number of improvements scheduled here that should help. A few I'm excited for that we're hoping to schedule for 11.2:

- Splitting the admin settings into multiple sub-pages to make it easier to visually parse (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/44998)

- Adding search for settings pages (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/41112)

- Prioritizing content on settings pages (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/47405)

The UX team has an epic on these improvements (https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/203), grateful for any feedback on specific issues. Thanks for pushing us here to improve.
