Wouldn't a VPN run off DO hosts quickly trigger their network abuse filters?

Why would it? As long as you're in within your traffic limits, I suppose DO is happy to sell you the service you paid for. You're also likely not adding much SSD IOPS by running a VPN, but you have paid for a bit of storage, so you're a lucrative customer :)

Anecdotally, people routinely run small-scale VPN off DO or even AWS free tier hosts.

I was mostly thinking about the DMCA notices, the spam and the CP traffic you would end up being associated with.
