Other than as an intellectual challenge, what good is a Raspberry PI VPN server? Would not the IP address remain the same as my local DNS assignment? I thought the "big deal" about a off-site VPN server was that the IP address became scrambled with the thousands(?) of other customers and therefore became untraceable?
I am currently using Seattle -- the closest -- ExpressVPN server. Would there be any benefit to using either Canada or LA instead? Due to the difference in privacy laws, using Canada might be interesting (only if I am really paranoid)
I am assuming that you are using high speed "backbone" connections between your 100+ servers where possible?

Lexie, could you add the open source software called Cryptomator to this article? It encrypts your files on whichever cloud service you choose.
