Only my Stremio add-ons, such as Knightcrawler, Annatar and Stremio-Jackett.
Only my emby and ombi containers has an open path in/out, everything else is local or VPN only
PII or anything that would demonstrate clear attribution is LAN, the rest of the "fun" stuff lives on a VPS. Wireguard between them.
Most of my things are open to the web but thats kinda nessasary for them to be functional file shairing links, link shortening, mc server etc etc
Everything critical is on lan (docs, passwords, media), everything else is on vps (gameserver, fediverse, websites). I dont mix these as I absolutely dont want to deal with a breakin. I assume they will get in so I airgap them more or less.
I have HTTPS and SSH accessible on the internet but only over IPv6. Anything else I access over an SSH tunnel or VPN.
I use OpenVPN and not expose anything directly.
I expose most things to the web so long as they have auth and 2FA options. The one exception being my Jellyfin server. I share it with friends and needed to make it as easily accessible as possible.
With Cloudflare WAF, reverse proxy, and an isolated subnet with IDP I feel comfortable with public services. Nothings perfect but if they get through it and pwn my lab I’ll just nuke it and rebuild.

Just my Nextcloud and Matrix
As a general rule if it's a pubic-ish service like Lemmy (more a friends and family than public) or something where I want ready access like auto uploads it has public access, otherwise it's private. I make it a point to have everything facing outside to have 2FA enabled and/or limit the available sources to known IP ranges.
