Everything critical is on lan (docs, passwords, media), everything else is on vps (gameserver, fediverse, websites). I dont mix these as I absolutely dont want to deal with a breakin. I assume they will get in so I airgap them more or less.
I have HTTPS and SSH accessible on the internet but only over IPv6. Anything else I access over an SSH tunnel or VPN.
I use OpenVPN and not expose anything directly.
Jellyfin and Miniflux are internet facing because it would be turbo annoying otherwise to deal with them
I expose most things to the web so long as they have auth and 2FA options. The one exception being my Jellyfin server. I share it with friends and needed to make it as easily accessible as possible.
With Cloudflare WAF, reverse proxy, and an isolated subnet with IDP I feel comfortable with public services. Nothings perfect but if they get through it and pwn my lab I’ll just nuke it and rebuild.

Just my Nextcloud and Matrix
As a general rule if it's a pubic-ish service like Lemmy (more a friends and family than public) or something where I want ready access like auto uploads it has public access, otherwise it's private. I make it a point to have everything facing outside to have 2FA enabled and/or limit the available sources to known IP ranges.
