Like another commenter said, Mopidy can do it all in one instance. It works, but I personally find its integration with MPD clients to be a bit clunky so I don't use it all that much.
Personally I use Snapcast as an endpoint, plain MPD for local files, and navidrome for remote access to my library.
Snapcast supports Spotify endpoints, so I just switch to my Spotify stream when I want to listen to Spotify and to my MPD stream when I want to listen to local stuff.
This is more of an ecosystem than a single solution though, so it may not be what you're looking for.
That's where I've been heading too. The snapcast client has been a bit unreliable for me on my desktop though (choppy and stuttering) but it's great in its unix-like flexibility and I'm sure it will continue to get better.
Honestly, I hope that mobile connections in my country are one day: fast enough, cheap enough, and reliable enough that I could just use snapcast remotely and get truly seamless self-hosted streaming but that's still a long way away I suspect.
I haven't had any trouble with Snapclient when run in user mode on my desktop. It does get kinda wonky when run as a system service on desktop linux.
It could be some pipewire weirdness on the client, I'm not sure. I'll probably also try using pipewire or pulse on the host and use their built in named pipe support. Maybe that will work better.
