How much of a good idea is to have my own instance just to have my account? (lemmy.one)

I'm thinking about deploying my own instance where I'd be the only user and most probable I won't have any communities.
The only thing there will be my account to interact with as many other instances as I want.

What would be de pros and cons of having my account like this?
Would it be harder to interact with other instances in some way?

I’m a software engineer, but I’m a mediocre sys admin. I have the technical skills to host my own instance but I don’t want the stress of getting it right.

Although an alternative way to look at it is that is could be a great way to hone your devops / SRE skills. Even if that's not the direction you really want your career to head, it can never hurt to have a really good understanding of that side of the industry.
