I do like me some serverless.

That said, for my own projects I don't go that route because when it is my own money I need the certainty of cost that something like a $10 droplet gives.

I know serverless will be much cheaper (probably almost free) for most likely loads, but if I'm hit with the extremely unlikely loads I'd rather a small droplet that struggles and dies than a performant serverless system that spins up my bill as well as my resources.
