Any recommendations for keeping track of email support requests? I'm getting beyond the point where I can just reply straight from gmail. Ideally something I can just self host to avoid a monthly fee, but I'd be open to paying for a really good solution. Has anyone had any luck outsourcing support questions? Especially for support emails in the middle of the night, it would be nice to have someone answer basic questions and then escalate the difficult ones to me.

We use SupportBee and it works pretty well for shared email support. It's a paid product but it's affordable and the pricing isn't based on the number of people.

Depending on your business you can probably get away with only answering support requests during business hours.
