No firewall! Wow that's brave. Hetzner will let you configure one that runs outside of the box so you might want to add that too, as part of your defense in depth - that will cover you if you make a mistake with ufw. Personally I keep SSH firewalled only to my home address in this way; if I'm out and about and need access, I can just log into Hetzner's website and change it temporarily.

I have SSH blocked altogether and use wireguard to access the server. If something goes wrong I can always go to the dashboard and reenable SSH for my IP. But ultimately your setup is just as secure. Perhaps a tiny bit less convenient.
