I have great things to say as well. I left Google Photos about 1 year ago or two, used Takeout to export my ~terabyte of Google Photos, imported to Immich on my mac mini, along with more personal archives of photos. I store the images on an external SSD array (https://paulstamatiou.com/gear/owc-express-4m2-nvme-ssd-encl...) that I have backed up with Restic+Backrest to some cloud providers.
My mac mini hosts it behind tailscale to all my devices and it's been working great.
A tweet of yours a decade ago convinced me to add Google Photos into my workflow (thanks).

I removed it from my workflow when its integration with Drive was sunset.
I was without a great UI for a couple years, paying attention to Immich in my periphery. I decided to add Immich this year on a Mac Mini as well.
