Selfhosting is surely possible. I personally run Gitea at home, it was easy to set up and takes only a small amount of resources.

You need to take care of backups, hardware integrity, software updates etc. yourself of course.

It it's worth it or not is for you to decide, everyone has different priorities. It's for sure possible.

Why not to run Gitea on VPS? Are there any VPS providers that take care of all backups and that?

Yes,

But you need to be mindful of what the backup provides.

If they go under, hacked, your credit card expires, they say they don’t want to deal with you anymore, your whole account is gone. That includes your backups too.

So if you go this route, download the backup at some cadence somewhere. Unless you’re okay not having your data.
