As long as you don't own the hardware your data is at risk. I know you don't like the idea of self hosting because XYZ, but it's the only way forward. There are no good companies.
Where do you put your server without it getting destroyed by a house fire? (Genuine question, not rhetorical)
You have multiple backups. Preferably, another selfhosted server at a friend or family member's house in combination with cloud storage, where you encrypt your data with your own key before backing it up at a storage provider, such as Backblaze, iDrive, Hetzner etc. In that way, you will minimize data loss in the event of a fire or the like.
