This post resonates with me and briefly acknowledges the thing that scares me the most about self hosting personal stuff for myself and loved ones: the bus factor. I haven't heard many self-hosting proponents talk about their strategy to mitigate the bus factor. I really want to self-host, but it seems like such a headache and a risk.

I think the only way is aggressively simplifying your solution, documenting the hell out of it (playbooks for rebooting, exporting data, etc), and leaving a notebook of passwords in a safety deposit box/safe.
