mCaptcha can be self hosted https://mcaptcha.org/

It's technically not a CAPTCHA, for the pedantic, but it serves teh same purpose.

Not sure about captchas but the honeypot filter works fine.

Its open source so there probably is a good level of privacy.

The only privacy-friendly CAPTCHA is a self-hosted one.

The only user-friendly kind is none at all.

Depending on the web site, an alternative bot-filtering strategy might make sense, such as:

Allowing signup without a CAPTCHA, but requiring one before the first post/upload is allowed.
Allowing signup without a CAPTCHA, but deleting accounts that behave like bots.
Allowing signup without a CAPTCHA, but deleting accounts that don't purchase something.
Allowing login without a CAPTCHA, but restricting retry rates and/or temporarily locking accounts after 10+ failures.

Proton has one

It appears that proton's is only for them and they don't offer it to other websites unfortunately
