I'm sure that's the prevailing advice... I've been self-hosting mine for a while now. It's been lovely. 0 issues outside of some "special" users.... Who also are family... So they're just "special" anyway.
Been very hands off for me. And when shit goes "wrong" (I can think of 2 major incidents in the past couple years?)... I get the opportunity to actually fix it... rather than sitting on my thumbs crying that my emails don't work.
I can't think of any major incidents with Gmail since I opened my account in 2005.
And yet I get emails regularly about outages from Google. I used to be hosted on a grandfathered google workspaces. For some reason they refuse to unsubscribe me from the admin emails. This month has had 6 emails on 2 different issues(290173792 and 290269440). This year... 63 emails.
There's definitely outages galore... and I've had several affect me/my users in different ways. They usually clear up pretty quick... but to say none... I can't agree.
It's quite likely that you think it hasn't affected you, but an outage occurred for you overnight or during a time you didn't really notice.
