This seems unnecessarily dismissive. (But maybe that means I am part of the 'specific subset'... :) ). IMO there is a big difference between 'tinkering' and 'self-hosting'. Projects you are tinkering with are typically transitory and can be treated as "pets". But in the 'self-hosted' world, stability and ease of maintenance are huge. In that regard I think the overhead of containers makes total sense, especially when running a bunch of stuff on the same server.

It’s interesting to explore different solutions and to und west and their pros and cons even if they aren’t motivated by upfront requirements (you’re probably less likely to come up with an interesting configuration in that case anyway).
