Also be aware it's not all roses with Hetzner.
There are stories online of folks getting their accounts deactivated or not even getting approved.

I was able to buy a 8 vCPU instance right now - do you know how frequent this problem may be?

Honestly can’t say how frequent it happens but I’ve read a few accounts that say you geographic location plays a big role in whether you are treated nicely or not.

If you don't actually need colocation for your side project, looks like you could buy an i7-11700k, 64 GB of DDR4, a motherboard, and a 512 GB NVMe drive for ~$430. That's looking at new parts on amazon. You might be able to do better with e.g. ebay.
What would you suggest me instead?
I see Hetzner and maybe OVH could cost significantly less.
Actually looks like with Hetzner I would get better specs at 115 eur per month. With 16 vCP, 64GB ram, 360 GB SSD.
That's crazy, I didn't realize there's such a huge difference.
I think your comment is actually impressively valuable to me...
I'm going to bring it all over during the weekend. That's really exciting to find out much cheaper prices, because I've had disk space running out constantly on my DO. I do all my docker builds, files, databases and everything there as well. And for side projects I usually value all the cache and development speed as opposed to trying to optimize everything to take min performance and storage.
Also I spend way too much on Supabase. I think also $300+/month and increasing, I will bring that over and self host with a large SSD. I think at this point I prefer self hosting a postgres anyway to Supabase. I just tried it for a while, but the costs started going up.
Thank you so much.
Edit: there's some limits in Hetzner initially, so it might take few months before I can actually migrate.
