Personally, I don't care much if jira or github issues. Github issues worked pretty well for me so far. However, We don't use all the things that make the work easier with github issues. I assume we invested much more efforts in making "jira" the way we wanted, now we assume that github just works? The benefit about github issues is, that it has an extensive api which let you automate. There are many helpful tools making our life easier. Let a bot do the issue labeling, workflowing, and user guiding and even merging PR after ci passed when 2 comments have LGTM. Look at https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes e.g. Short: If we want to automate things and evolve, github may be the better platform, if we want to keep things manual, then jira is probably more suitable.
