Describe the bug
It looks like we're starting to get random breakage in macOS builds in the dependency installation step. We should probably consider caching those similar to vcpkg.

Expected behavior
Stable workflow runs

Although the end of the logs shows a big scary deprecation warning for macos11, that's actually an old thing that didn't cause problems so far.

But that deprecation thing needs handling too. According to actions/runner-images#9255 macOS 11 runner images will be removed in Q2 2024.

I know we have problems publishing builds for later macOS versions, but I couldn't figure out which old bug report is most appropriate for this, nor the current state of some of those.
