"Just another server to backup" is, indeed, not a big deal. It's strictly more work than not having another server to backup, however, and when it fails, it fails hard--in the sense of, "Hey, I just blew Saturday fixing my personal git server" or "Hey, I just lost data because I realized my backup cron was broken."
Running your own server is a bug, not a feature. The fact is, it's a very _minor_ bug because running your own is so damn easy. But it's still a bug. (The fact that you can run your own server, in the contrary, is a feature.)
