I gave Hetzner a try - so far it's the best experience (but I've compared it to the free offers of other companies, so that should be taken with a bucket of salt).
I can't speak from personal experience, but in terms of pricing (per GB), Hetzner is clearly the best deal
Fair to note that TAB.DIGITAL 8 GB free tier works very well for Contacts, Calendars, Tasks, and even file sharing.
Do they throw many ads at the user in the web interface?

I haven't seen any - with adblocker disabled and all.
Could be my Serbian IP though - no one likes us, not even the advertisers LOL.

Use a vpn from Singapore. You'll get ALL the ads
I speak fluent sarcasm and broken logic. | I would agree with you, but thæn we’d both be wrong.
If you are only using it for contacts and calendar sync (CardDAV/CalDAV), Nextcloud is a massive overkill. It's like buying a school bus just to commute to work alone.
You might want to look into Baïkal or Radicale. They are incredibly lightweight, use a fraction of the resources, and run absolutely perfectly on shared hosting without throwing a dozen PHP warnings.
Totally agree with you on the file storage part though. Hetzner Storage Boxes are unbeatable for that.

That was my reasoning. However:

I have - you can see my linked article(s) for details.
Nextcloud seems like the most stable solution for keeping contacts working accross platforms and devices (source of truth).
Also, in the post above, I mentioned the use of Nextcloud Deck, so I am no longer using just contacts and calendar (Deck integrates with Tasks, pretty neat).

I have recently started using the Deck Nextcloud app for organizing my bike repair work and scheduling. Looks promising. Rough notes:
