I don't have 2FA for my GitLab account since it's only accesible via my GitHub account which has 2FA. Is this good or should I add 2FA to GitLab also?

If you have to use your GitHub 2fa to sign in that's fine I would assume.

This isn't necessarily true. If you are using an identity provider, you can still perform a password reset on GitLab and set a password there, bypassing your 2FA on GitHub. You usually shouldnt rely on IdP 2FA unless the destination system enforces IdP signin every time. There is a group setting in GitLab that does that, but it will only apply for that group.

Okay, thanks!
