It's not "pretty standard", but we're working towards it and it looks like a pretty great solution. Our problem is that CI job runners sleep most of the day (low number of commits), but then you have spikes where the jobs are waiting on each other and times get really long. Autoscaling sounds great - you can have lots of runners when you need them and only a single one (or maybe even none? not sure yet) otherwise.
