I do not want to start a toolWar-thread, but Jenkins provides means to
have your config versioned easily:

just change to declarative Jenkinsfiles that are checked in with your
projects.

A very simple example of this can be found here:
https://github.com/apache/creadur-rat/blob/master/Jenkinsfile

AFAIK it supports matrix builds as well (have a look at
https://github.com/apache/plc4x for a deeper integration).

Just my 2ct.

At work we had the same discussion as people wanted to use the Gitlab
equivalent of GA .... just because it looked better.

Personally I never used buildbot as I considered its config rather
obscure, but you seem to have the same feeling towards Jenkins.

Cheers & happy weekend,
Phil
