I'm running my instance for the same reason, it's been running for over a year and I'm the only active user. Although there's people passively using it as well.

Storage doesn't go over 100GB much. The only downside I notice is a community on Lemmy is only federated if at least one of the users is subscribed to it. Using Lemmy-federate you can add a bot account that subscribes to new communities.
