it depends on what your remotes are, and what your risk profile is. consider the problem that your internet access may go down and you are cut off from all your backups, unless one of those is your parents house where you can get to without internet.
I touch my backups less than once a month and I lose internet less than once a month so I think I'd just shrug if those overlapped and I didn't have local backups.
depends on where you host your data. a decent provider will include a few terabytes of traffic per month. and since you won't have a lot of people accessing that data, your traffic won't exceed that of a moderately popular website.
Why?
I don’t see how that is better than two or three remote backups?
Do I need to change my strategy?

A local backup can be accessed nearly instantly in case you are pressed for time.
egress charges if you have a lot of data.
