Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

It does give you authentication security in that, you should only have an issue if your instance is down. If the instance your account is tied to goes up and down then your ability to access your subscriptions and participate are also up and down.

I wish the identity stuff and authentication was separated from instances, but unfortunately it isn't.
