Yes, I've been running my own homeserver for a while now.
I use it daily to communicate with three of my friends in a group chat. I use Riot on iOS, they use Riot on Android.
After the initial setup, I haven't had a single issue with it to be honest.
On a somewhat related note, it's hard to get people to switch to something new, but I was able to get my non-techie friends to switch by showing that we can use it to exchange high quality videos without any size limit (well, I actually have it set to 1 GiB, but I can change it). That's one of the biggest issues when communicating between Android and iOS. Sending videos over MMS sucks.
