The wording says "third-parties as a service", so as long as Redis isn't accessible by people outside your organization, it's fine. But paid Redis hosting wouldn't be allowed on the new license.

Where does it say this? I can't see that in the SSPL

It's in the RSALv2:

You may not make the functionality of the Software or a Modified version available to third parties as a service

Ah right. You could do a paid Redis service if you use the SSPL license though, right?

That does seem to be the case. As long as any modifications to the source are publicly available. Which is pretty reasonable.
