I don’t remember the details but there were several occasions
1. The sync UX was so confusing that I set it up and deleted things on a unimportant device to make some room and that deleted it everywhere without me realizing it for some time so I lost those things forever. This is where I switched file syning to Syncthing.
2. I ran it basically without apps only for syncing caldav and carddav and it took so many resources on my server that it constantly brought down the whole vhost with all other unrelated services and the UI was so slow I could only use it through the API from desktop and mobile clients. I then switched to the lightweight Radicals and deleted NextCloud which made space to many new services on the little Hetzner vhost.
I haven’t seen self hosting small instances prioritized by NextCloud, I think it probably works very well on a beefy server for a lot of users, similar to Lemmy, but for one user instances it seems to not be well supported.
Ive been very satisfied with my two user instance set up using the AIO container via docker compose. They have a standardized deployment method nowadays.
We (me and my wife) even use the kanban board as a PWA although it’s a little clunky it works and all the deadlines even show up as tasks in my ical. Caldav was a bit weird to set up though.
