Gave up local video rendering on an RTX 3060 for cloud — but lost the node-based modularity

After a week of crashes (VRAM errors, maxed fans, Python environment terminating) trying to run open-weight video models on an RTX 3060, a creator gave up on local rendering and moved to H3 on MiniMax Design, where heavy rendering is offloaded to cloud servers and stability is noticeably better.
The trade-off: cloud ecosystems lose the modularity of a raw web UI — no dragging in random custom nodes from GitHub or plugging in upscalers, and running a second pass means exporting the video into a separate workspace. He asks how others handle this loss of modularity when switching to cloud wrappers.
