> It's not that much work to trust my root certificate on each device

Sure, but is trusting your homebrewed CA on all your devices for essentially everything really a good idea?

When your homebrewed CA somehow gets compromised, all your devices are effectively compromised and not only for local connections, but everything that uses PKIX.

Make sure all the TLS clients you use have support for name constraints. When I evaluated this in 2023, Chrome was in the process of adding support. I'd love to see a caniuse style analysis of TLS features, people assume they work but support varies.
