Why shouldn't I have a home server integrated into my daily driver PC, in a VM or something, and have it 24/7?

well, a dedicated server would also be a single point of failure. what do you think im going to have a datacenter at home?

Explain then. If I had my home server in separate box, it would still be a single point of failure for all those important services that I need to host for me and my family, wouldn't it?

No.
Your workstation now becomes your single point of failure.
Imagine if you ran DNS services on your 'server/workstation,' then updated your workstation.
During updates, your entire network does not have DNS.
If you have a tiny, single person network...probably fine. But, in any normal network, this is unacceptable.

risk of data loss due to hardware failure, malware, lightning, or accidental deletion, no ECC, excessive power use and noise

>no ECC
forgot about this one, nice catch
don't forget about ECC OP
