I'm (very) unfamiliar with webdev and hosting. Is this 'oneliner' a secure way to host files? I have heard that using a reverse proxy, some 2FA on a cloud gateway that forwards to another location, with a VLAN for the file server, and containerization, etc are all the standard practice now for ensuring security. Is there anything that works toward making this goal more easily amenable (since it's not possible with one project), or should I just keep using python -m http.serve and not care?

What is your definition of "security"? There's lots of dimensions of security in the web serving space. If you list out specific requirements and specify your threat model, then answers become a lot clearer.
