Give ViMusic (for Android) a try. It's free in F-Droid. It's like Spotify but uses Youtube Music for the backend.
I have a Spotify account and never use it anymore. ViMusic is great.
I run Docker containers in LXC and it works very well. I don't think you should face any performance issues from that.
I used to use Invidious on my desktop and NewPipe on my Android phone. Even tried FreeTube for a while. Everything worked great except managing subscriptions was a pain. Each device needed to be updated manually.
Then I discovered Piped and now use this exclusively. It's open-source, blocks ads, has SponsorBlock, and subscriptions. You can use it any browser and use the LibreTube Android client.
All the benefits of FreeTube, Invidious, Newpipe -- with the added benefit of subscription sync across all devices.

Glad I switched to AntennaPod for podcasts and ViMusic for streaming music. Both open-source and free!

Perhaps a solution like CloudPanel or Cloudron would make self-hosting multiple sites / apps easier for you. I use CloudPanel to host multiple Wordpress websites and it works very well. I use Cloudron to quickly deploy various open-source apps on one VPS.
