The more you try to make a service highly available and resilient to outages, the more complex it becomes to manage it all. Eventually there is always some random bit that isn’t working quite right and you spend so much time on it all.
This is a reason why I don’t run public access instances. Another is more people than you might expect being shit heads and the time / energy needed for moderating of their activities.
I’m perfectly fine with two nines of uptime on my private instance in the corner of my office at home.
