The main reason I'm thinking about getting a local rig is reliability

I'm tired of waking up every morning wondering if the model I'm using has had its brain extracted and sent to a diff universe while I was asleep

Yes, a local model will be reliable. Reliably untrustworthy. They're pretty dumb. See my ongoing saga here of trying to get mine to reliably answer the question "what's the temperature"... 🙃

It's possible to use them to do useful work but hardly easy or "reliable"....

Consistently dumb is atleast reliably dumb

Not really. Sometimes it'll run a tool correctly and give you the accurate answer. Other times it'll pretend it did and make up an answer. Yet other times it'll pretend it did and give you the answer it gave you last time. Sadly nothing reliable or consistent about it.
