I guess for me, part of the value of my service is the infrastructure. And I sell based on server instance, so any added cost gets passed to the customer (or deducted from my earnings).
For someone competent with sysadmin work, I think it's maybe worth the time. It's not like for any hour not spent on my systems I'd otherwise be earning $200 automatically.
My message would just be for people to not be intimidated by the concept of something being so much work that it's not worth your time. I saw that argument for years with email as apparently conventional wisdom. I've been hosting my own email for years now with about 3 hours of upfront work and (almost) none thereafter.
