On a PC we atleast have an out.

On mobile, user certs are pretty much ignored unless opted in by apps. Even firefox allows user certs (for now) but only via an obscure hidden config.

This means we cannot use self-hosted services even using a VPN with official apps without getting a signed cert.

What do you mean by this? Any service that is designed to be self-hosted will have an app that accepts user-installed CAs. HomeAssistant, for example.
