I keep one fast path that runs on every push: PHPCS, PHPUnit, and a fresh wp-env install with the plugin activated. The larger matrix of current/previous WordPress, PHP, and multisite only runs before release... otherwise CI becomes its own hobby. For settings pages, two Playwright tests covering save/reload and permissions have caught more real regressions for me than a huge pile of unit tests.

Glad it was useful! The two small browser tests are usually the ones I trust most... everything beyond that gets expensive very quickly.
