How large is ETH overhead? I expect it to be atrociously massive.

It's massive right now, yes. Especially because of proof of work. It will get better, but I don't think we can expect it to be as good as everybody hosting their own services in the cloud. That is a big disadvantage of Ethereum, but I still think it is pretty interesting that it essentially handles devops for you forever.
