I’ve been considering paying for a European provider, mounting their service with rclone, and thus being transparent to most anything I host.

      It protects against drive failure. That is the threat I am most worried about, so it’s fine for me.

        drive failure

        Perhaps unintended but very much relevant singular. Unless you’re doing RAID 6 or the like, a simultaneous failure of two drives still means data loss. It’s also worth noting that drives of the same model and batch tend to fail after similar amounts of time.
