Anything I'd self-host would be down way more often than github.

Only for a scale approaching github's, otherwise a gitea instance or whatever doesn't have any interdependent components other than the server you host it on, which won't have nearly as low a downtime as github (though that's a low bar, a better way to phrase it would be saying it would pretty much never be down).

I self host my own VCS repos. It's never down. It's not rocket surgery to self host, even for business stuff rather than personal.

My on prem forgejo is way less down than github. I use both. You don't have to chose.
