I’ve had a Nextcloud instance running on bare metal for 6 years. It’s been smooth and responsive the entire time. I did use the snap version, which auto updates itself, and nothing has broken in that time. I do run just the base install with no customizations and it just works.
I can imagine adding more to it will increase the possibility of errors.
