I have an i-5 6core dell sitting so why shouldn't I spin up a node?
I'm mostly worried about maintenance and it breaking down one day, how do you deal with that in a good way?
Regular backups should do the job. It's all run in docker instances with mapped volumes, so you can just backup those contents regularly and roll-back worst case if things completely pooped out. Otherwise maintenance isn't really much worse than a normal webserver - great for learning Linux CLI if you're not already familiar.
No reason you shouldn't spin up a node though! The more the better - lets load spread out.
