i feel uncomfortable with entrusting my data to them, as i am constantly worried i will break something and corrupt the data
Backups. If you’re not willing to setup and test proper backups then no - you should not self-host.

currently i am doing them manually everytime i am changing something. I had to deploy them before (successfully) but if i am going to keep going with the selfhosting route i am planning to set up syncthing to the NAS of a friend

The general rule is the 3-2-1 rule, so 3 copies of your data, 2 different storage types, and 1 of them offsite.
Make sure you run backups at least daily too for your data, and keep a month or so worth of incremental snapshots.
Restic + Backblaze B2 is great for an offsite backup.

syncthing. is not. backups. Look into proper backups or be willing to lose data.
