I think your suggestion is better, done.

Instead of using 'msys2/setup-msys2@v2', I directly installed the
packages by using msys2's package installer (pacman). There was one
problem, it seems that default installation of msys2 is on C: drive
and C: drive is somehow lots slower compared to D: drive [1]. I am
talking about total runtime being ~15 minutes slower (22m -> 35m). So,
I moved msys2 to D: drive and used it from there as a solution.
