@molly0xfff how's your deliverability? That'd be my biggest concern with self hosting, to the extent that I added outbound handling to the spam filtering service that I'm using for a few clients with internal mail servers (no mobile client access meant that I could also completely isolate the mail servers from external connections which was a nice benefit)
