As long there are no invasive data collection and such, I really wouldn’t mind having some ads if that means making instances having more resources to grow and sustain them selves.

I don’t know if it would work here. You would need a really entrenched userbase that wouldn’t just up and leave to an ad-free instance. And how would you serve ads? Sponsored posts would have to be non-federated or else you’ll end up defederated. The fact that you can interact with posts from a different instance makes banner ads seem useless.
