I hope the author really does mean "home lab" and not "home production". Having run my own personal disk array for over two decades, this is like the opposite of what I've come to want.

Otherwise when things fail (and they will fail, despite that redundancy (or even perhaps because of it)), you'll end up with circular dependencies that make diagnosing and fixing things quite painful.
