Late to the party, but I’ve read that OP is going to be the sole admin. Do Not Do This. I admire what you are trying to do, but ultimately, you will have no rest, no vacation, no backup for yourself. The hardware & software aren’t the issue here - it is the human support of those services. You will put a single point of failure on yourself, and likewise your peers.
Many of the FOSS projects you mentioned have commercial services. SAAS exists for a reason. By subscribing to those services as a business, you underwrite their ability to provide the software for free to the community. It’s a win-win.

second this.
also look into HR services. they handle most HR things plus many have products that do the HR stuff like time tracking, payroll, benefits, state/country compliance/regulatory requirements, etc.
it can be costly but the cost is higher when you factor in your time away from running your business and increased legal risk from breaking employment laws.
once you get large enough you can hire a director of HR and reduce you reliance on your vendor.
