Given that the Fediverse is wide open, unencrypted, and your instance owner is no more immune to getting a subpoena from law enforcement than anyone else ... one might think twice about asking questions of the form "if I commit a crime can they find me" here. Even if your VPS can't detect it, you just left a paper trail here by asking how to commit a crime. :) Bad plan.
Your Fediverse instance owner might consider deleting your post and perhaps your account to keep them from being the subject of such a subpoena in the future.
Honestly you are right, I should think before posting things like this, may sound dramatic but I don't want my whole Instance to be damaged by a post.
Not just your instance. Every instance Federated with it that got a copy of your post is part of the chain of evidence. Don't plan crimes in the fediverse for heaven sakes.
IP is not shared via activitypub FYI. Only the instance owner would have that.
That being said, yes don't plant crimes as federation makes removing your incriminating comment across instances near impossible
