Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

But I do have a strong background with docker, Linux administration, networking, and generally DevOps, and I do have a virtual root server up and running for some time.

By no background I mean nothing in any of that at all ๐Ÿ˜‚. The only mildly relevant thing I have a background in is bioinformatics but even that's a stretch...

However, I did also have 0 background in 3D modelling, 3D printing or handwiring keyboards and now I've made quite a few that all work so... We'll see! (I guess lol)

Well, just for playing around you should be able to set it up using something like dyndns on a laptop at home, at no cost (except for time). If you want to go for it, that's what I would suggest :-) When that works, think about getting the virtual-root-server at monthly costs...
