Have fun, and feel free to return with arising questions :)

Anything that works for you is a decent usecase. In terms of Yocto/OE,
the line between decent and non-decent is less a technical than a
social one.
Decent: "Hey did this weird stuff, and its just what I need. Thanks!"
Non-Decent: "Hey I want to do this weird stuff but it doesnt work
because XYZ, so its your job to fix ABC in order to please me!"
Read that as: we're mostly in embedded, people do strange stuff all the
time. If what we do is useful for you, go ahead.
And on the topic of self-hosting, we actually have something called
"packagegroup-self-hosted" which should be nice base to build from.

None detected.
