> This is why I self host

Goals are to hide your traffic from ISP (1) and your real IP from internet (2). Self host VPN achieves (1) but not (2), your VPN's IP is yours truly.

How do you know my goals? :)

Maybe I just can't always trust my ISP (ex: public wifi).

If I want to also hide my IP I can use Tor with or without a VPN.
