For example, something that is too complex for your comfort level, a security concern, or maybe your hardware can’t keep up with the service’s needs?

    Smart move, unless you really know what you’re doing and have redundancy. When I first made the switch from Lastpass to Bitwarden I had tried to host the vault myself instead of using the cloud version, which worked fine right up until the moment I had a server outage and lost access to all my passwords.

      Eh, the clients all cache your vault. It shouldn’t be a huge issue for it to be down even for a few days.

      But I do upload encrypted backups of the server every 6 hours to cloud storage

        Same.

        Plus, my instance is proxies through Clouflare and only IPs from my country are allowed.

        I think that’s what’s kept me at KeePass rather than moving to something like Bitwarden. Since it’s file-level encryption, anything that can serve files can also serve my KeePass database. When I upgrade servers or change to different services, restoring my database is as simple as throwing the file into that new service and going on with my life.
