If you can self host, you can run a custom cloud instance.
I think the implication is that if your house burns down, your important shit is backed up elsewhere
Exactly. Custom cloud instance. That's where you're using the likes of AWS or Azure to run your machines but you're in control of all the software and maintenance shit, just like you would be if you self hosted.
If you can do one, you can mostly do the other. I tend to put some wireguard VPN servers in front of my cloud boxes though for security reasons
