I've settled on much the same as you, Flutter/Dart and Vultr. Haven't needed much in the way of cloud storage so just use the filesystem and MySQL. For anything webby, Vue/TypeScript on Netlify + CloudFlare. The backend language/framework can vary if I'm interested in something at the time (e.g. F#/Giraffe).

Honestly imo with SSDs being as fast as they are, the filesystem is wildly underrated. I have a scraper grabbing items from a mobile app and I just store each item as the JSON file then check it in to git. Push triggers some processing and everything new gets messaged directly to me.
It’s never crashed and never missed a beat. I could also throw up a simple web UI that just parses everything in the items directory and get <200ms response times on the lowest-cost vps.
