I think maintainability has a lot to do with it as well, and what you consider maintainable. I see a lot of interesting setups on here but some of the bigger ones I’m iffy about because authentication or some other critical, lower level protocol is outsourced. To some that sounds great and is easily maintained, but I don’t personally consider those super maintainable or sustainable for my setups. I prefer to take the greybeard method and do it all myself. As such, when time comes to do maintenance yeah I have more burden on myself but it’s a burden that I explicitly put on myself and that I enjoy.
