Does StatusPage do anything that this software doesn't? Just curious, because I was thinking about setting up some form of simple monitoring, but I haven't as of yet investigated any of the solutions in this space. (Forgive me for not checking their homepage; I'd honestly prefer some anecdotal opinion.)

If the two are on par feature-wise, I suppose it comes down to the cost savings of maintaining your own versus the time savings of outsourcing the problem to someone else. It might be nice just to forget about monitoring maintenance.

Considering statuspage.io is set up in redundant data centers and has all the bells and whistles that you need, building and maintaining your own seems less and less desirable to me.
I definitely fall into the category of your last sentence.
