I’m not too sure about that. I self host A LOT. Like far and away many more things than most people will and the amount of time and effort it takes to keep things working is minimal at most.
Ditto, and aside from that the thing that takes most of the time are usually tasks of my own creation. When it comes to smart home, that might something like home assistant dashboards. There are a ton, ton of easier ways to do it, but I want mine just so. But anyway, 2-4 hours later, and I won’t touch it again likely for another year aside from occasionally adding a device.
You just need a lot of time to keept it all working. However it is getting much better “mature” than what is was just few years ago.
