What happens at 3-5k users?

At what point is it worth creating a self-serve platform for advertisers? Or is that not useful at all?

Depending on your content you gain enough traction to expect a steady income with your website (50k-100k yearly or more). That can be enough to focus full-time on the project if you have enough ideas and potential to grow the project, and enjoy working on it.
When you can't manually handle the updates.

Put a link to advertise here and manually manage it until you have too many ads to manage yourself.
