Raspberry Pi 4 8GB in my basement runs:

Jellyfin, Tailscale (to route my Internet when I'm travelling), and 3-4 web app side projects.

While I've considered a VPS for true 24/7 access (and more power), I haven't yet built something critical enough to justify the cost.

Also, Tailscale on a VPS wouldn't serve my travelling needs which are to use my home connection/IP/geo.
