Absolutely you should go for it. I’ve redone my set up multiple times over the years on the same hardware. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes because I accidentally nuked it, and sometimes because I wanted to get rid of cruft.

There was a time when I didn’t even know what Docker was and just relied on Portainer, for example. Or mergerfs instead of ZFS. Yeah, you end up redoing a lot of grunt work but that’s how you learn.
