1: If you have it public facing with a valid SSL certificate for the domain it's hosted at then it should work fine.
2: Yes, I have no actual communities on my own box but here I am :)
3: I'd say the biggest thing is storage for attachments if it's the only thing running on the box. Mine is set to offload all the attachments to a separate storage box, but if the mastodon instance is any indication it could balloon to a pretty large storage amount over time.
4: It's relatively easy and you have all the powers of an admin to shape your experience to be what you want. There's the responsibility to deal with moderation and maintenance, but if you're the only one using it then there's nobody to be upset if it goes down for a bit here and there.
