Similar here, I only build & run services that I trust myself enough to run in a secure manner by themselves. I still have a VPN for some things, but everything is built to be secure on its own.

It's quite a few services on my list at this point and really don't want to have a break in one thing lead to a break in everything. It's always possible to leave a hole in one or two things by accident.

On the other side this also means I have a Postgres instance with TCP/5432 open to the internet - with no ill effects so far, and quite a bit of trust it'll remain that way, because I understand its security properties and config now.
