Similar, I use a cheap AWS Lightsail VPS $3.50 (Lightsail has DDOS protection)-> Wireguard -> Apache Reverse Proxy mod -> my local services.

Why not having clients and local services meet on a Wireguard concentrator on VPs? Thus no need for Apache reverse proxy.

Problem is, 3.5$/month has only 500MB RAM which is very little to run Apache + other services.

There's lots of ways to work it. I prefer retaining control over the service plane for ultimate flexibility and so I can easily switch public access point (the VPS) if needed. This also reduces the need for more powerful cloud hardware, more cloud costs, etc. On Apache, I've run Apache for decades for static web, reverse proxy, etc., I have no plans to change that.
