I self-host Postgres at home and am probably screwing it up! I do at least have daily backups, but tuning is something I have given very little thought to. At home, traffic doesn't cause much load.

I'm curious as to what issues you might be alluding to!

Nix (and I recently adopted deploy-rs to ensure I keep SSH access across upgrades for rolling back or other troubleshooting) makes experimenting really just a breeze! Rolling back to a working environment becomes trivial, which frees you up to just try stuff. Plus things are reproducible so you can try something with a different set of machines before going to "prod" if you want.
