If you use the shortlived profile and your key is compromised, you benefit from the short lifetime.

Maybe I'm just too stupid to understand how those certificates work.

But in what scenario is my key compromised but not my server? Because someone getting control of my server can just get an new long-term certificate. That was my actual point in the comment above. I understand the argument of added security if they only issue short-term certificates. But where is the benefit of my short-term certificate when someone compromising my server can just get a new long-term one in seconds?

Also we are talking about self hosting. I understand the issue of revoking certificates when you have a massive userbase where some might miss the revocation for quite some time. Not so much with the dozen max family and friends.
