You ever consider using IPFS/Filecoin or Arweave? Thought?

Arweave for simple cases such as NFT media. It’s free and requires no maintenance afterwards. 

IPFS for more advanced ones, like storage layer for an app. It’s much more powerful and useful for anything nontrivial.

Depends on where/how you host it. You can have your own nodes if you are really concerned about the performance. 

The biggest advantage of IPFS for app storage are DAGs which allow you to create a meta structure for the data without relying on external storage systems.

yeah arweave is perfect for nft metadata. isnt ipfs slow for app storage?
