RPi4 + USB Storage works as a network connected backup space for home PCs. With dyndns and a split vpn tunnel I imagine you could have your Hetzner machine place backups there too.
Seems both nagios and zabbix work on RPi:

Already got ssd as a nfs share in my openwrt-based router before that I did have it set up on the rpi. I did want to do offsite backup into that disk originally but I've got "only" ~100Mb/s up/down speed here so I didn't want to risk slow-downs etc (but now that you remind me, borgbackup should be rather light on traffic!).
NEMS being a whole OS is a pitty, I like the possibility to have multiple different services there.But you are absolutely right I could have a offsite resource monitoring for my Hetzner setup with these, thanks!
You can also install Nagios the traditional way with apache instead https://www.howtoraspberry.com/2021/05/how-to-install-nagios-on-a-raspberry-pi/
The port 9090 nems UI is based on Cockpit and just an apt install away https://cockpit-project.org
