I have started to degoogle bits and pieces. I self-host the majority of the services I need and really enjoyed the journey so far since I learned so much. I am approaching the stage in my life where I have less time to spend on personal hobbies so I fear this path may not be sustainable. In my opinions here are the pros and cons.

Pros:

• Full control of my data
• Pick the ideal tool from the open source community
• Learning experience
• Engagement with community

Cons:

• Technical knowledge needed to setup and maintain self-hosted tools
• Self-hosted environments have security risks (best to put everything behind VPN)
• Disparate tools don't connect together (requires additional automation configuration)
• Additional costs for services including and not limited to: domain name, email, backup storage, self-host server hardware, VPN, and donations to devs
• Higher personal downtime due to lacking features, server and service maintenance
• Time sink to learn, research, general devops of tools, maintenance of server

Key services to name a few:

• File storage - Nextcloud
• File sync - Syncthing
• Office - Nextcloud + Collabora
• Email - Mailfence
• Photos - Photoprism

So far there are more negatives than positives, but the positives still outweigh negatives. I do have to say degoogling is getting easier than before.
