hey, here's a good rule of thumb.

If you share resources, that reduces costs, but increases security risks.

choose whether to share a filesystem, an OS, a kernel, hardware, or just use a dedicated server.

The economics of sharing resources are all in a tiny sliver of the budget spectrum, the shoestring budget range :

0-1$/mo: serverless

1$-5$/mo containers

5$-200$/mo Virtual Machine(s)

200$-1Billion$/month , at least one dedicated server

So if your hourly is worth anywhere upwards of 5$/hr, and your project has any semblance of seriousness, just use a dedicated server, and avoid a whole class of LPE vulnerabilities just to save some $.

Businesses have expenses, let's stop pretending that all of these non dedicated server infrastructures are serious. Shell out 200$/month or stick to hobby status.

No, I don't sell dedicated servers, but I should
