I wouldn't be running the server (though that can be done, just not by me), but hosting the instance, yes.
Short form is:
* pro: - current instance is nice but has hands-off/invisible modding; I could do my own modding - block/limit/defederate any other instance I need to without relying on the above - current instance is also sloggy and occasionally bungles its certs, if I move I might as well move all the way
* con: - paying for server hosting/maintenance (+ possibly domain); not huge costs but something to keep in mind - absolute lack of energy to tackle actually doing the thing - see above but substitute making sure my account migration works - have to do my own modding even at Maximum Fuckhole Capacity[tm]
