I don't quite get why someone would be a fool to run Shiny. Can you elaborate on that?

Fool is a tough word. IMHO it's terrific how quickly you can go from an idea to a local dashboard, but on the other hand it's non-trivial to get it from the one-person dashboard to a >1000 user production application with some uptime guarantees, authorization, metrics, error collection.
What about ShinyProxy for this purpose (“productionizing”)? https://www.shinyproxy.io/
This is one potential solution. Good read on scaling shiny: https://appsilon.com/alternatives-to-scaling-shiny/
