Minimalist self hosted apps
I also maintain a fairly minimal, as far as options/alternatives go in this area, email list managing/sending (MailChimp alternative) app: https://github.com/ssddanbrown/mailbag

Laravel Mailcoach v6 has been released with a new UI and lots of improvements
If anyone's looking for an open source alternative, I built a relatively feature-minimal Laravel-based option in this space when I wanted to migrate from Mailchimp: https://github.com/ssddanbrown/mailbag

How are you sending newsletters?
Personally, when recently built my own Laravel-based email-list-sending app, I just decided to stick to plaintext. I worked in email marketing automation for 7 years so did a lot of email building and handling work, and I didn't want to be doing that in my free time, so I kept things simple and plaintext only. Worked well for my audience since they're often tech/privacy focused. Source here if you wanted a peek.

What monitoring tool do you use or recommend?
I use uptime kuma for status checking, then I built a simple Linux server metrics application (wirestat) which I can then use with uptime kuma, so that uptime kuma can alert me when something is wrong with a monitored server metric (CPU, memory, uptime, disk space etc...).

Explaining modern server monitoring stacks for self-hosting
For checking server metrics i built a simple go service [1] to expose metrics with simple rules applied so uptime kurma will notify me when issues arise (Since the go service will change http status upon alert scenarios).

What tools have y'all written for yourselves?
Simple metrics/monitoring system - link
- Just sharing a Linux system metric dashboard I built to use with Uptime Kuma's HTTP monitors, to form a system monitoring solution. Thought it might be handy for other Uptime Kuma users
- wirestat - A Linux system metrics display served as JSON, with alert condition rules, that can be used as part of a simple system monitoring setup
What are some alternatives?
When comparing mailbag and wirestat you can also consider the following projects:
webby - A tiny static webserver app written in go
