It depends on your skillset. If you can self host services in docker, matrix should not be an issue anymore. Its still nowhere ready for everyone at this point but is constantly improving.

Docker changes nothing about the performance characteristics of a service. If anything back then a full server dedicated to it wouldn't have been enough.

i know that. My comment was concerning the „hostability“ in general. The performance is okay imo. Joining large rooms will still take a couple minutes but no whole day.
