I kind of cringed reading this article because there is also the cost in downtime which doesn't seem to be considered along with the RTO timelines.
Hetzner has had issues where they just suddenly bring servers down with no notice, sometimes every server attached to an account because they get a bogus complaint, and in some cases it appears they are still up but all your health checks fail, where you are scurrying around trying to find the cause with no visibility or lifeline. All this costs money, a lot of money, and its unmanageable risk.
For all the risks and talk of compliance, what about the counterparty-risk where a competitor (or whoever) sends a a complaint from a nonexistent email which gets your services taken down. Sure after support gets involved and does their due dilligence they see its falsified and bring things back up but this may be quite awhile.
It takes their support at least 24 hours just to get back to you.
DIY hosting is riddled with so many unmanageable costs I don't see how OP can actually consider this a net plus. You basically are playing with fire in a gasoline refinery, once it starts burning who knows when the fire will go out so people can get back to work.
