My concern was specifically about other devices on the same home network, outside the homelab, becoming vulnerable. I don't remember the details. Not relevant to you if you don't want to use cloud-native services. Personally, I like proprietary security-oriented code where possible, cloud-native or not. That factored into the decision.
