No IPv6 support? Still? That’s the real problem if so.

I would say the biggest problem of CGNAT is that it is essentially double-NAT: your home router did one layer of NAT, and the ISP also did another layer of NAT on the edge that is close to your home, not only the latency could add up (although so far it is not a problem in general), but also that another point of failure to be concerned too.
I happen to come across this having CGNAT in my parent's house, luckily they have a backup IPv6 so I can access it from remote "directly".

It's not so bad IMO. I self-host a lot but I use a mesh VPN, tailscale to get to it. It's much safer not having my stuff exposed to the whole internet, I don't need to have incoming ports open, I don't care if my IP changes etc.

You can create a tunnel from a cheap VM (or appropriately sized set of VMs) in a cloud.
It's a different, new calculus. The result is still that you have the same server power in your home, if that's what you want.

I use https://getpublicip.com to deliver a public IP address to my home lab. I use them over Cloudflare tunnels and Tailscale because I run a email server at home and I dont want encryption terminating in the cloud (as is the case with Cloudflare tunnels). Its also a TCP / UDP level solution which means I can host anything I want.
