On the Supabase team here as well.
Self-hosting is easier said than done. You can do it, but maintaining the infra, scaling, performance, security, updates, downtime, all of that is a _giant_ overhead. It's not against our business model for self-hosting to not work well. Everything we do is open-source and we don't "supplement" it with features from closed source code.
Also be prepared to do your own infra work if you want something scalable and production ready. The HA guarantees are kind of “bring your own” eg not really there out of the box and IMO the default docker compose setup provided, while thorough and working, serves as more of a proof of concept of the system than something you should actually be running in production.
