And for me, it’s just not worth the headache (and security risk) of hosting my own password manager.

How many separate services do you have for accessing files across devices, and what do you do for filetypes outside of what they cover?

That's how it works for me with a passwords.kdbx file on my FTP server (but any cloud storage works). Same for any filetype.

What's the security risk? If anything, it's SaaS password managers that seem to semi-regularly get hit with breaches (well, mostly LastPass).
You don't need to host anything for KeePass - just plop the file next to your notes/etc.
Headache seems greater overall if you're juggling a large number of subscriptions, particularly when they start ramping up payment or moving features you rely on to higher tiers.
