Just keep in mind that if your server dies, or you stop running it for any reason, all the content and user accounts are gone. It doesn't really feel like something that should be taken lightly.
Unless it is named like "throawaylemmy" or something.
Why can't it just be a vanity instance that you use for yourself and friends, with most of your posting being done on larger instances? There's at least one I've seen like this which seems to be private.
