I’ve been putting off having a local copy of the series and movies I watch because I still can access them quickly and cheaply enough in some streaming service, I think it’s time to plan ramping up my selfhosted setup.

If you use a “public” Plex share (one that you find online and pay a monthly fee for), Plex will eventually find you and suspend your account.
A safer approach with Plex is to get a cheap server (assuming you can direct play on most client systems), get an unlimited Dropbox team account for storage, use rclone to mount Dropbox on the server, and auto-download via Usenet using Radarr, Sonarr and Lidarr. Split the cost across a bunch of friends.
Or just use Weyd or Syncler plus a Real Debrid account. Real Debrid caches torrents so they’re instantly available to stream at full speed over an encrypted (TLS) connection.
real debrid might be a good option
