There's plenty that's crazy about the current system. But I'd assume in your example state actors would be tracking and possibly copying your server accesses. And perhaps your server. (Cross border? Blocked. VPN? Blocked. On-prem? Easy to raid. "Don't keep logs"? Actually we do. Open source encryption? One contributor just happens to be from an intelligence agency and added some weaknesses. And so on...)
Security is really hard. For every "obvious" solution there's always going to be a back door. For every known backdoor there's going to be a covert back door which you're not going to be aware of, or a honey trap which looks like a trusted independent solution but is really state owned.
If you want a truly secure solution you're probably going to have to wait for some kind of bio-linked technology where your personal data is embedded in your physical body, and forced access either wipes it, or kills you, or perhaps both, depending on the settings.

And perhaps your server. Some of us have only passing interaction with state actors, e.g. when visiting a foreign country for a short term, or when crossing the border into a nominally free society with legal privacy rights (cough TSA / ICE cough). There is thus in practice ample need for solutions not secure against an all-seeing surveillance state.
