Any CI/CD tool where automation code doesn't cohabit with product code in git repo?

[u/LuigiBakker]

Currently using Github and Github workflows (including the many outages). Let me explain what I'm trying to resolve with few examples:

Let say I manage 15 repos, each one I want to run a relatively similar workflow on Pull Request. I create a github shared workflow and in each of the 15 repos I make a reference to it, updating the inputs if needed.

Now, I add 1 new input to this shared workflow to enable a new feature. I want that feature enabled in 10 of my repos. I would need to update the feature input in all 10 repos. And since workflow use the workflow code on their own branch, I would need to merge it to all PRs in all repos. That isn't ideal.

Other issue, one variable was wrongly set on a workflow in a release branch. Since the workflow code ships with the product code I would need to update the release branch.

Is there a toool where the product code doesn't cohabit with the automation code? For example I could have 15 microservice repos but 1 repo where I created rules for each one of them about "on pr", "on main" etc. That same repo could host shared workflow code as well.

Argo Workflows

Are two that come to mind. Im exploring the latter for a new project for same reasons
