I do the same thing, with a different mix of services:
- The obligatory PiHole.
- An ssh server, which I use to access my internal network.
- A script that scrapes a website daily.
- A database to support a web development project.
- A web server to support a web development project.
- An NFS server, for data backups.
While it is probably underpowered to serve the needs of some people, it serves my needs. Since I don't fiddle around with it very much, it has proven to be very reliable.

>- A database to support a web development project.
What language, frameworks, modules and how do you store and present it?

It's a basic Apache/PHP/PostgreSQL setup. This is a private project that I am working on to collect information on and plan recreation programs. The scope is sufficiently narrow that I don't see much of a need to expand beyond that setup.
Other commentators mentioned pihole/DNS, WireGuard, and music streaming, but you can also use them for a (slow) NFS server, persistent Syncthing node, Maestral host[1] (third-party Dropbox client written in Python (that can actually run on the Raspberry Pi, unlike the official Dropbox client)), or device that maintains a connection to a distributed network (e.g. Hyporborea/cjdns).
