The privacy aspect and other security risks tho? So far all the praise I hear on productivity are from people using cloud-hosted models.

Claude, Gemini, Copilot and and ChatGPT are non-starters for privacy-minded folks.

So far, local experiements with agents have left me underwhelmed. Tried everything on ollama that can run on my dedicated Ryzen 8700G with 96GB DDR5. I'm ready to blow ~10-15k USD on a better rig if I see value in it but if I extrapolate current results I believe it'll be another CPU generation before I can expect positive productivity output from properly securely running local models when factoring in the setup and meta.

Privacy is not binary, and it would make it easier if you outlined specific scenarios.

Most providers promise not to train on inputs if used via an API (and otherwise have a retention timeline for other reasons).

I'm not sure the privacy concern is greater than using pretty much any cloud provider for anything. Storing your data on AWS: Privacy concern?

Unencrypted? You bet.
