Mind sharing a bit more on your home setup?

Asking because I never saw the point in multiple container replicas for simple self-hosted stuff. One container each has served me well so far [0] (Nextcloud, Bitwarden, GitLab), and if they crash, they just get restarted. Multiple containers increase throughput, supporting more users, is that it? It just sounds nightmarish in regards to storage and parallel, conflicting writes.

[0]: One container per component (web, db, cache, ...).

I do have just one container of each thing, but I was originally planning to have multiple nodes. I have 3x ThinkCenter Tiny M73 (with the Pentium CPU) and thought one would be a bit underpowered for everything I wanted to run (it was for k8s), so was planning to distribute services automatically across the swarm. One node is more than enough though, so I'd actually be fine with just docker-compose, but splitting everything up into separate 'services' is nice.
