@erincandescent @tfunken Yeah, I'd guess it's like how self-hosting is fun, after all I've been doing that for over 10 years, mostly because it's so much better than the dread of dealing with support (even if in my experience they've been pretty good).
Just feel like it's something I'd do gradually like how you probably shouldn't start self-hosting DNS and email right from the start, but eventually you should give it a try.
