Description
Some of our unit tests just take too long. With ON_CRAN='false' it takes around 30 minutes on github actions. We should find better parametrization while keeping a similar level of coverage.

Research direction
Start by running the unit-test suite with ON_CRAN='false' and inspect which parametrized cases account for the GitHub Actions runtime. Done means the tests retain a similar level of coverage while completing substantially faster than the reported 30 minutes.
