I was on a trip for a few weeks to visit family, and just a few days after I got there my server went down and I lost access to all my stuff (I’m about to fix it when I return tomorrow). Stuff like that is why I will never self-host something as critical as email

Unless you have concurrent redundancy with HA servers and multiple Internet connections, it’s just not worth missing important emails imo.
