I would use terraform to provision servers, and go with a “backup, automate and deploy” approach. Documentation would be a plus

Yea. This is what I do. Other than my Synology, I use Terraform to provision everything locally. And all my pi holes are controlled by ansible.

Also everything is documented in trillium.

Whole server regularly gets backed up multiple times, one is encrypted and the other via syncthing to my local desktop.

    Terraform is the only missing brick in my case, but that's also because I still rent real hardware :) I'm not fond of my backup system tho, it works, but it's not included in the automated configuration of each service, which is not ideal IMO.
