I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

I don’t trust myself to not lose my entire Bitwarden vault in a house fire or failed hard drive

Try Keepass. FOSS where the passwordDB is just an encrypted file. Sync with nextcloud/syncthing for concurrency, copy off to a thumb drive for backup and drop off at a freinds house, keep on your keys, etc.

Self host gitea and then use pass and sync everything with git.

Now any device that can use git can have your passwords encrypted on it

You don’t even have to bother with gitea. You can just have a bare git repo on a server somewhere.

Agreed, VaultWarden is nice in theory but too easy to lose it all

I believe Vault/BitWarden caches all passwords on all devices. So you can create a backup anytime. Even when the instance is down.

Even if you lose your server in a housefire, you will still have the Bitwarden DB that is saved on your devices. Basically every device is another duplicate of the database. Pretty hard to lose everything.
