As plenty people already said here, I don't see any problems if it's staying in your local network, selfhosted
Perhaps not the best example but one to start joggin' the noggin: it can be a weak point to start an attack your local network, if someone is adjacent (like standing in range of your WiFi). Obviously not a likely scenario to most people reading, especially since HTTPS became normalised, but a reason to keep security in the discussion for local home networks.
That's why you put those devices in a separate VLAN with no routing access to the rest of your network
