Why? There's a bunch of different possibilities that can happen directly related to NG+. The game feels like it's meant to be played endlessly with it.
I'm doing my first playthrough on Explorer mode and I'm pretty OP. I am terrible at these games. Compared to DOS:2 the game is a breeze, truly. I could probably bump the difficulty up to Balanced mode and still be fine.
In other words, the combat is much more accessible than DOS:2 in my opinion.
Check out Kavita! It sounds perfect for what you're doing and I have had literally 0 issues using all of their built-in features. It's a surprisingly stable and full-fledged open-source product.
I would go back if it was easy. The speed difference from just getting a listing of contents in a large directory over SMB is insane. It used to be instant and it takes like 10-15 seconds now. I'm not even using their app setup anymore, I gave up on it after a while because of a bunch of random issues with updates over time and switched to a dedicated box with Portainer installed. I really wish I could go back to core.
I'm sure they'll iron everything out but BSD is still king at the moment.
I use Roon ARC to self-host my library. It is paid, but, I bought the lifetime subscription because there is really no other music app that has the features Roon has.
Other than that, I have HiBy R3 Pro that is useless for Bluetooth, and when I'm hiking I want Bluetooth.
The pictures folder on my instance is at 1.3GB after two days. It's just me and my friend. About how many communities are you subscribed to?
In the grand scheme of things this isn't a big deal. If you're not using some kind of RAID parity system I guess I wouldn't mind the notification. I think it is probably overkill, though. Just seems like they want everyone that's had a hard drive for three years to buy a new one. The fact that some drives that are still under warranty show the warning is sketchy.

I use TrueNAS Scale for my NAS and Ubuntu server for my VM's/home server. I probably am forgetting something, but, that's what's listed in my Portainer :).
It was super easy. I just edited the config file in the Ansible playbook and needed to edit the certbot task because I use Cloudflare but other than that it was a breeze.
Well, as you mentioned before it's to enjoy the "technical aspect", which could be many reasons. For one, if the instance you signed up on shuts down there goes your account with it. I feel better self-hosting because I am in control of when/if it shuts down.
You can set your instance to private and close registrations, which is what I am doing. That way you can use it only for yourself and a few friends and still be connected to the fediverse. The communities that you make on your self-hosted instance wouldn't be connected, though.
