Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

My raspberry pi 4 is using 810mb of RAM and 11gb of file system space.

That's interesting to read. Could an instance be added to an existing setup? (Debian OS)

So long as you can run Docker, I would think that you could setup an instance. You just need to make sure that the image you use for lemmy and lemmy-ui are compatible with your platform. I had to alter the provided docker-compose.yml file to use arm64 versions for my RaspberryPi.

I mentioned the total disk usage for the sake of setting up a pi. I don't know what the space requirements are for lemmy separate from the bulkiness of an Ubuntu 22.04 install.
