Nextcloud is technically a solid product if your goal is to replace all the Google services. Personally I think it's too heavy and I've had issues with using it vs using specialized apps for each service I'm replacing.
I still run it on a 10 year old chromebox (replacing chrome with linux of course). It's really not that heavy. If it seems very slow, I'd try rebuilding the database from a dump (if mysql/mariadb), and making sure the db is on a fast drive. At least, those two things made a huge difference for me. Also, some people reported huge speedups switching to postgres.
setting up memcache was the biggest improvement for me.
