HAProxy-WI: Run Lots Of Public Services On Your Home Server

I was originally doing the forwarding bit via nginx, exposing 80 and 443 directly from my home. Using a cheap cloud vm is a neat idea. Being stuck at home, I've started switching to a home network setup with dnsmasq resolving subdomains to local servers (e.g. plex.my.network -> 192.168.1.X). Since letsencrypt supports auth by dns, I don't have to expose those services publicly and I still get ssl. Was planning to keep it all local and only expose a VPN service so I can connect to my home network when remote to access plex, freenas, etc. Are there specific advantages or disadvantages for home use (not a prod web service) to go this route vs a VPN-gated alternative?
