Like the title says, I'm new to self hosting world. πŸ˜€ while I was researching, I found out that many people dissuaded me to self host email server. Just too complicated and hard to manage. What other services that you think we should just go use the currently available providers in the market and why? πŸ™‚thank you

The password isn't enough. It's not a hardened protocol and vulnerabilities are found in it with some regularity. There have been unauthenticated RCEs before, ie nightmare scenario.

    Those vulnerabilites come from humans clicking on files they're not supposed to click on. NO way of communication is secure against that. Not even the magic of Tailscale. RDP offers 2FA and has an encrypted connection. It's fine!
