I'm not sure there's a dichotomy. I travel for a week at a time across the country, and bring only a backpack that fits under the seat on the airplane. But there's a GL.iNet router in that bag, since it gives all my devices Mullvad + Tailscale. Good use of space in my opinion, since I can access all the services I host from my home 3000 miles away with zero extra config.
