Can you still host your own easily under the new model? That aspect of Firefox Sync was already deemphasized before, and that this is lost is what I fear the most with such changes.

All the software for running a server is open source, I think, so in that sense it should be possible. Whether there will still be enough prefs such that you can get Firefox to sync against a different host, I'm not sure, but it seems likely that that will be possible.
