Nope. No VMs. Don’t know why would I if I have a dedicated XCP-NG pool for that.

Depends on the support case you got. If it’s technical you have basically 24/7. I am in Germany but had once a hard drive failure in a server at 1am contacted technical support and it took about 30 minutes overall and the new drive was resilvering and the server back online. Takes a bit as the NOC needs to go to the data center and so on.
The problem is a lot of people here are beginners and have no real clue about network security. And opening a port is opening a door. If you have a bouncer that clears people beforehand then you can keep the door open. But you will still need to keep your bouncer trained so he can take care of people you don’t want. Same with software. Keep it updated and have security enhancements in place like 2FA and analysis tools like crowdsec or fail2ban. And the open port might not an issue at all.
But if you open a device like a NAS (cough QNAP cough) then you have a higher security risk.
TLDR; if you know what you are doing it might not have implications.
Hm. Lag spikes in Tarkov and you check your server? I mean Tarkov.
But yeah I can feel your misconception here. But I am also the other way around I uninstalled firewalld and do all on iptables level. I am just more used to iptables. And so the sole controlling instance is iptables. In the end it’s all netfilter in kernel space.
