I Ditched Google Photos
Heya! I'm the author of PhotoStructure, and my Google Photos account (before I started working on PhotoStructure) is about that size, too.
I wrote up some tips here: https://photostructure.com/faq/takeout/
This is what I did:
1. First try to fetch all your Google Photos via Takeout in one archive. If it fails (like it did for me), try different-sized .tgz archives. I had to use the 10 Gb option (using 50gb caused an internal-to-google error).
If that fails to work, the last resort is to manually create by-year albums, shove all photos from that year into that album, and do a takeout of just that album. Repeat as necessary for every year.
2. Install an app on your phone to *directly* upload the original photos and videos from your phone to your NAS/home server. I have several recommended apps here: https://photostructure.com/faq/how-do-i-safely-store-files/#...
At this point, you can still use Google Photos (for viewing and as a last-ditch backup), but your originals are safe (without all the Google Photo downsampling and metadata shenanigans), and you're free to use whatever self-hosted software you want (like PhotoStructure, but there are a ton of alternatives, as well).
FWIW, I also tried this software: https://github.com/mholt/timeliner -- it does what it can, but the files you get via the API has a bunch of metadata stripped from it. I even had captured-at times get mangled with older photos.

Start Self Hosting
This is why I'm building Timelinize [1]. It's a follow-up to my open source Timeliner project [2], which has the potential to download all your digital life onto your own computer locally, and projects it all onto a single timeline, across all data sources (text messages, social media sites, photos, location history, and more).
It's a little different from "self hosting" but it does have a similar effect of bringing all your data home and putting it in your control.
The backend and underlying processing engine is all functional and working very well; now I'm just getting the UI put together, so I hope to have something to share later this year.

Consider SQLite
Not a "big project/service" but a Go project that uses Sqlite is one of my own, Timeliner[1] and its successor, Timelinize[2] (still in development). Yeah the cgo dependency kinda sucks but you don't feel it in code, just compilation. And it easily manages Timeline databases of a million and more entries just fine.

Can you synchronise Google photos to/from phones and computer bidirectionally?
This looks promising but might be a bit complicated for you: https://github.com/mholt/timeliner

What is the equivalent of "Apple removed 3.5mm jack" of your favorite products ?
I made Timeliner to download my Google Photos: https://github.com/mholt/timeliner -- requires some tech prowess for now, though.

Escaping Surveillance Capitalism, at Scale
I really thought this article was going to offer a solution, not just enumerate the problems. I'm already all too familiar with the problems.
I like what Umbrel[0] is doing. They're essentially expecting that just like computing was able to move from centralized mainframes to homes, servers are poised to make the same migration.
I think they really need to solve redundancy, though. If I'm to self-host anything important on a home server, I need to know I'll have some way to use it even if my home server fails, especially if I'm not at home when it happens.
I'd love to see some kind of system where I could partner up with other Umbrel users for backups/the ability to restore connectivity. If I knew that in an emergency, I could call my friend in town or my brother out of state and there was some procedure that would allow me to connect to an encrypted backup of what I'm needing, I would feel a lot better about taking responsibility for my own system.
