One thing that actually makes this slightly less horrible is the Gh tool. You can use gh run watch to tail your logs in the terminal and at least don't have to click through a million things just to see output.
I wrote a command-line tool that streamlines retrieving test results from GitHub Actions even further. Essentially parses jest/tsc/eslint errors in GHA jobs' logs for the current's branch PR. https://github.com/raine/ghtool
