Leaderboards and such could still be kept along with high multiplayer count.

It might not be as 'unified' as a traditional live service, but it's totally feasible.

As long as they actually let you run a server its fairly easy to self host and there are plenty of services that let you rent professional grade systems with enough data and hardware to handle tons of players.
