I've been using jitsi Meet for about 21 months. A group of us used to
meet once a month to have lunch (all ex university), at the university.
That had to stop two years ago.

I set it all up using global jitsi Meet, but one person was concerned
about privacy. I set up a private jitsi Meet server at home. This was a
little involved, so I wrote a detailed guide (it's hosted on FreeBSD but
of course Lunix would suffice).

Initially I hosted it at home, but my upload bandwidth is only about 2.5
Mb/s, and it wouldn't handle more than four participants.

I now have an AWS instance (free for the first year) which costs me about
a fiver a month. I use it for quite a lot.

Our family simply set up a private Matrix server (Synapse) shortly
after the Covid pandemic began, and are happily using it for chat,
photo sharing and occasional audio or video calls.
It works perfectly for 1:1 calls, and it needs Jitsi for group calls
(although "native" group calls are coming soon, the developers say).
For punching through NAT, you need a TURN server as well, but that's
quite trivial to set up.

I like this idea. The UX would be fine too. Thanks, I'll play around
with it.
