Wow! A lot of sane advice coming from an account claiming to be a shitposting account :D.
Your points are well taken and I'm slowly coming to the same realisation. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Sounds good for setting the events up and getting notifications part. A good calender would also let you see the upcoming events in week, month at a glance. Cron entries are non sorted lists. Is there a cron visualizer like they have visualizers for logs?
Yes OP look up a recipe for raita and go for it. Maximum flavour from minimum ingredients. The spice i love in my raita is roasted and crushed cumin.
I'm having a good experience with Samsung DeX on an 7 year old TV. Gives me a trackpad with keypad on my phone to navigate a full OS on a large screen. In a pinch, I connected a Bluetooth keyboard to my phone and have even used it as a document editor using Google Docs without any hitch.
There is an app called OnStream that works on Android. If you are okay with putting third party apps (non open source) on your device, that is.
I don't remember how I configured it back then but now there seems to be a nice tutorial for it: https://community.jitsi.org/t/tutorial-etherpad-integration-in-jitsi-meetings/99697
It gives you a nifty tool to create documents collaboratively while you talk. If you are using Jitsi for somewhat serious needs, then I think it is a good addition to have.
I dabbled with it in pre COVID times. Yes, Firefox support for Jitsi was almost not there back then. Same went with mobile support. Getting others to install apps was always a pain. I never tried cooking Jitsi powered ramen though.
I have hosted Jitsi publicly for my organisation for a bit and all the while I was hosting it, there was not much difference between it and the one hosted by Jitsi. Sometimes the add-ons like etherpad etc are a bit of a hassle to configure. Sometimes these features offered by the online service are an iteration or two ahead since the folks at Jitsi are actively developing it and have access to alpha/beta builds that are a trouble to implement locally.
Since you are already considering the privacy concerns, there is nothing much remaining. Maybe uptime concerns if third parties are going to use your service too and will shout at you if they can't access your service.
I also dabbled with hosting it through OpenFire which gives you more granular control over scheduling the meetings. Maybe you could explore that too.
Overall it is a fun thing and you feel fully in control.
1 or 3, but with an interrobang ‽
While I have a background in science, this is not the specialization i chose and so almost all of it is almost Spanish (won't say Greek, since at least I've heard of the words) to me.
I thank you for summarising the science of it though. It gives me enough keywords to start learning.
I'll definitely take your advice regarding getting a quote from the geothermal system guys, if there are any around me.
I'll also try and learn the science/maths to see if you, or the other guy who has suggested that this might not be worth the effort, are right.
I don't have any improvements to offer but I want to mention that I saw a crazy video that used a circuit breaker as a spot welding device. The concept is pretty much right and it is as cheap as it can gets, but it is electroboom kind of crazy and the guy even hurt himself on camera while using it.
