I run Proxmox VE and Proxmox Backup Server on two machines at the same time. I pull the main backups from the main machine, where all the Vdisks are to the second one. Until now it works like a charm. The third of site machine is in the making

Personally my NAS isn't my main storage. I still use Google Photos and Google Drive for my important stuff, I just need to configure Rclone to download my stuff on it.
The one thing I'm really self hosting only is my music, outside of the couple of CDs and downloading from iTunes, I don't have a proper backup.
I’m currently using just an external drive to backup too, I use cloud storage for all my personal files, but my systems (I run a lot of servers that would be a pain to rebuild and reconfigure) and all my Linux ISOs are backed up nightly to a large external hard drive. However, I appreciate that I’m not covered for the local disaster scenario if my house was to set on fire, so my plan is to also implement Backblaze cloud backups of my server machine so I could have cloud backups of my backups at least.
you're chances of being hit by lightning is probably higher than all 3 copies of your data being inaccessible all at the same time for whatever reason.
You didn't say how you currently keep your data...
I'd be more concerned to lose data that is stored in the cloud than on my private network.
The adage "there is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer" is still true.
If you are afraid to lose the data on your clients and servers in your private network, improve your backup strategy and make sure to have one backup off premise (in a safe deposit box if needs be).
It doesn't hurt to improve overall security on your private network, either. 😉

Not really, Anything important I have in multiple locations. Any media I have hosted I'm not worried about because I can just re-download it.
Photos and video I have on both cloud and my server. Anyone getting their google account closed are probably uploading things that aren't allowed.
In the future I want to build an additional, quite server and have it set up at a relatives house out of state so that I have 3 copies of important data.
