Honestly, if you want it, go for it. It's a good learning experience!
I've been running postfix+dovecot for 10 years now and I've had very very few issues, I wouldn't know it's not Gmail or some other big provider. Kinda pain to set it up, especially if your provider hands you an IP that's been used for spam previously, but it's been smooth sailing since for me. Mails always delivered, DKIM/DMARC and everything.
Here's a helpful site to test deliverability: https://www.mail-tester.com/
Mine scores 10/10
E: Also, surprisingly zero spam despite my addresses being quite public.
Maybe I'll try it with my throwaway domain, fugzied.com. I did host my own email 8 years ago. I can imagine the landscape has changed.
