stupid question I know but let me explain. I self host only because I love learning random things and this was just another thing that I convinced myself I needed to learn, not out of necessity. I am hosting an *arr media system right now but that is pretty much the only thing I actually need, I have unlimited google photos so I don't need Immich, I am happy with bitwarden so I don't need vaultwarden, don't need home assistant, nextcloud, bookstack etc so what I should I self host? throw any idea you have at me.

Hosting only *arr is not the one who insist himself loves to learn definitely..You are just a random guy who does not care about learning and tech at all.

If you really love to learn then you can literally self host anything. You just don't love it that much.
