one thing I have to add that even though I agree with most of your examples and comments, I would say cdn is a good practice as long as you are using something that's already built.

Building your own cdn is not a good idea but even in small projects the speed is a strong factor for new product based companies and CDN and caching can dramatically increase the page speed etc. which in turn result in better user growth.

Even a simple website should have CDN as page speed is a factor in SEO. And if it is a saas then your frontend files if delivered faster can have a better user experience.

Yes, it doesn't make sense when you are the only user but even if you go for 100 users I highly recommend caching and CDN and ssl( just for visual purposes)
