I have a dynamic IP and have been using it for years. I also host my own mail server on a VPS using miab which provides my DNS. My router supports pushing DDNS changes, so as soon as my IP changes, I'm able to update my external DNS and everything is all good.
If you can reliably update an external DDNS service, I can't see paying for a static IP for your self-hosted stuff.
