then my only choice is to just host my own servers. most of the time I talk to people 1-on-1 so it works for me.
Only if you self-host and the other person is also using an account on your server (or another trusted server).
Edit: also note that Synapse has pretty hefty system requirements and the database quickly grows using many gigabytes of data.
I'll have to make sure IRLs talk to me within or with their own servers. for online users I shouldn't worry that much. is there a good matrix client for multiple accounts? I'm kind of leading a double life.
Take a look at this link: https://matrix.org/clients-matrix/
It has a comparison of clients features at the bottom. Some of them allow multiple accounts. Not all clients support E2EE tho.
