I guess I never considered self-hosting as not a hobby? Web apps with modern stacks are usually pretty complex, so hard for me to imagine someone just casually jumping in as a non-hobby and not running into big problems at some point. Or getting hacked because you didn't bother or forgot to secure something.

That's not my experience at all. Plenty of web apps for self hosting are pretty simple. You just install the packet, read the config files, turn on and off what you need and you are good to go. Since systemd made that easy, most apps now come preconfigured to use a dedicated users and drop the capabilities they don't need. If they don't, you are two lines aways from doing it in their service file.
Then I just throw Caddy in front of everything I want to access from outside my local network and call it a day.
