I'm hosting my own email for several years now with https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/latest/ which supports all the useful things like SPF, fail2ban, postgrey, sieve, spamassassin. I'm not hosting at home, I rented a server with a hoster which I also use for other services.
It's pretty unremarkable, mostly it just works. I do have more spam than with gmail because I have to feed all spam to spamassassin myself. I also had one issue with larger attachments where I had to modify the maximum size, but that was also pretty easy using https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/latest/config/environment/#postfix_message_size_limit
I recently modified my setup to support DMARC and I occassionally check if I can improve something via https://mxtoolbox.com/. But other than that I never had any issues, never looked back.
