Good to know. Probably a better solution to get cheaper dedicated devices for each. It sees the remarkable 2 can be “hacked” and added a terminal which could take care of the privacy issue. Thanks!

Dang, I felt this one. But good things do come around either through lower expectations or better situations. That old quote always seems apt:
In the meantime cling tooth and nail to the following rule: Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and always take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases, treating her as if she were actually going to do everything it is in her power to do.
for sure a proxmox server is great, id just say don't go for the cluster just yet. Frankly, most self hosted stuff is dockerized and thats a huge plus. And it seems you already have that sorted out (id even ask you if casa OSs fileshare and an external drive could handle the NAS aspect).
I say this not to be a killjoy, but because I have a proxmox node I both overbuilt (for small services and running off a UPS) and underbuilt (for multiple big VMs) all because bought it to, and i kid you mot, “use it for NAS, and a window VM and run other random things that I don’t know yet”. 2 years in and i still don't know what those random things are.
So, my two cents: start cheap get a node to learn and understand where you want to go from there.
Aesthetics are a huge deal for the vast majority of ppl? Personally, im all for repairable phones, and therefore repairable batteries. As in theres no artificial hurdles to replace a battery like limited access to the components needed or silly proprietary tools or loss of functionality.
Hot swappable batteries are a feature, a niche one id say, that will necessarily require tradeoffs. Be it less or worse water/dust resistance, increased thickness, marginally easier to steal as anyone can pull the battery, or aesthetics.
I find hot swap batteries adds no value to me. I don’t want it. Id also wager thats the case for plenty of people. My phone is 2yo and battery still lasts the whole day and then some. External batteries are cheap and universal. Its fine that a repair takes a bit of know how and finesse as long as companies aren’t adding unnecessary hurdles.
