I really want to do this, but I have yet to find a self-hosted app that has the features from iTunes that I love: smart playlists (with an easy to edit interface), play stats (last played, last skipped, play count, skip count), and editable metadata (can change genres of the a song or several songs within the app).

Easily editable smart playlists would be table stakes for me. I can get by without the rest, though I'd be less happy than with iTunes.

(Please somebody prove me wrong so I can go back to self hosting my music library)

I use Plexamp and the smart playlists are pretty great on that.

Offline mode is so bad it's unusable

I've not experienced that. I usually rely on a single offline playlist on shuffle whenever I do lose internet, but that has been the status quo for me for some time
