I also did something similar, plus all my home automation which is 98% local-first|only. My trip was just 3 weeks but on the first day leaving, between one plane and another, my power company had a 4hours extraordinary maintenance cut, my UPS didn't last enough and with that blackout the RPi SD card died, and I was locked out my LAN for all the trip. Lesson learned: configure the UPS to communicate with the servers and shut them down in a controlled manner when batteries are dying.

run linux from SSD, can get a cheapo one for less than $25 these days. the SATA to USB adapter will probably cost as much. no more SD issues

May or may not work for your usecase, but I have some scripts to prepare read-only raspbian images here: https://github.com/nolanl/ropi https://github.com/nolanl/ropi There are commands to enable/disable read-write mode, so you can still make changes and do upgrades. I've had 0 problems with SDcard death after I started using it.
