But the problem remain the same. Whoever manages the network that hosts your instance will see your traffic...

You choose the business model to trust. VPN serve customers who to pay to be private. That seems like a high value target. ISPs serve connectivity, but apparently in the US, spying on their users is part of their core business and have strong local monopolies. Due to fierce competition and trust being pretty much one of the business requirements (I'd expect a lot more due diligence in b2b), hosting providers seem like the least big evil to me.
There are places that rent boxes for XMR if you want a hosting provider who doesn't have your information.
Any examples?

Yes, it's not a perfect solution. You're basically deciding who you trust the least and avoiding just them.
