I only see that without DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1. With the variable set it does
like in the CI jobs. I presume it is being set automatically by gitlab,
but we could add it to the script to be explicit.

I don't use docker and podman does not support caching. I have
fresh-installed docker today and indeed it seems to not use the cache at
every build. We're missing something.

Sometimes it works:

$ docker system prune -a -f

There are issues pointing to some general unreliability of the cache:

https://github.com/moby/buildkit/issues/2274
https://github.com/moby/buildkit/issues/1981

What is your docker version? Mine is 20.10.17-ce and Gitlab's is
23.0.1. The issues above are on 20.10.11.
