One shiny platform like for example Nextcloud to do it all might be nice for a lot of users when they have someone dedicated to maintain it. But for selfhosting (as in: mainly for myself) the constant attention needed to fix stuff was quite tedious.

I have run nextcloud for many years, I would love to know what this "constant attention" you talk about is.

Occasionally I need to run an "occ" command after an install to fix some indexes, but other than that I don't do much?

That then fails and breaks it (in about 1 out of 3 cases). Which requires rolling back everything, running the commands again pre-update, then updating and praying to not have to do another re-install (~ 1 out of 5).

Yeah, over the past 5 years or so I can't say I've had to do a lot with it either. There was a time I accidentally nuked it, but that's why I had a backup.
