Does anyone have recent information on how much traffic being on the HN frontpage gets you? Would be helpful to know.

15-20k but can be easy solved with CloudFlare full page cache rule
Well yeah, anything is easy if your server isn't doing the work.
“This website is run on an ESP32 chip that only cost $3 as for my proxy, I’m using distributed cluster of rack servers and relays”
Likely possible to handle HN load just fine... if the page was static.

edit: page loaded. It's apparently Microdot, a micro web framework running on micropython.

That explains why it instantly fell over
it's currently dead
My website runs on baling twine and duct tape (...and CloudFlare).
