Reverse proxies can be useful for hiding your IP if you do something like host it in a VPS and tunnel the traffic back to your self hosted service. There's also a lot of documentation on attaching things like fail2ban or crowd sec which can be helpful in reducing the threat from attacks. if you're running lots of services it can reduce the risk of two apps using the same ports as ultimately everything will go through ports 80 and 443 on the public facing side. Finally again if you're hosting several services having a central place to manage and deal with cert from can save a lot of time rather than having to wrangle it per service/ server.

Speaking from the more sysadmin side of things it can certainly feel that some days. Particularly with the never ending wave of half baked saas apps that my org seems to love acquiring.

This is incredible. They've finally made an AI as good at chess as me.
You don't have to get a rackmount server or even purpose built server at all. My lab at the moment consists of a stack of old HP desktops that I stuffed a bunch of memory and drives in. Regardless my recommendation would be to get a separate box to run things on as it makes things easier to deal with in the long run I find.
Main things you'll want from the box is memory and storage. CPU is not as important in a single user environment.
Under delivering yet again Sean. I want my deaf children!
