After resetting the state "as usual":
kubectl delete gitlab gitlab kubectl get pvc | grep 'gitlab' | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kubectl delete pvc kubectl get pv | grep 'gitlab' | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kubectl delete pv
It started deploying as usual and now, gitlab controller manager is looping over:
