I've been self-hosting Bitwarden (and giving them money) for a few years now, it is really easy with Docker and a reverse proxy. What kind of challenges did you encounter with Bitwarden?

Vaultwarden uses fewer resources and runs fine on a $5 digital ocean VPS where I had some issues with Bitwarden. I hardly have to remember that I'm running it myself.
Resource usage is a fair point. My home computer is 64 cores and 1TB RAM so I don't even notice Bitwarden running.
Last time i checked you needed a MS SQL db...
https://bitwarden.com/help/database-options/
"All Bitwarden self-hosted server deployments, except for unified, ship with an MSSQL Express image by default."
There is a new Unified one that can use SQLite and other options. I have been using that one for a year or more

For real? That would mean a requirement for a software license that costs about $1,000 for the cheapest option.
It is all included in their Docker compose file.
I use Kubernetes
But also what about the whole lifecycle?
I can easily deploy a HA Postgres cluster that is backed up for me. I'd have to do the same thing to back up BW.
