How hard is a windows 10 migration for a few hundred devices?Depends on what all they include in that. If the question is "how long will it take to upgrade 100 devices from Windows 7 to Windows 10 with no other changes" and they are on hardware that will take Windows 10, it's easy and not all that bad to do.
If they want to change other things while they do it, which most places do, it becomes a huge chore with all kinds of unknowns.

Yeah. I have about 1.5 TB of data that I want to store in it. Ideally, Iād have this instance hosted outside of my home. Issue there is cost. Only thing I see that makes sense is to put a server in colocation since VPS gets pretty expensive for that amount of data.

breaking free and going retro. ditching o365 and moving off the cloud. keeping stuff local and no longer paying for things I don't use.
i was paying for convenience, but never using it. -

i was paying for convenience, but never using it.If you're needs aren't huge, then there are free options for smaller needs on a personal level.

i was paying for convenience, but never using it.That's something I'm thinking about as well. The difference is I do use some of the convenience.
Will you back up your data to some kind of external hard drive, or send it off to a cloud provider?

Hahaha. Cloud provider. Nope. It's all on an external disk.
I'm going to schedule an ftp job every whenever to backup my important stuff to a web host somewhere maybe.I don't get much email I need to keep and I do alot communicating via phone, just like everyone I guess.
I measured my inbox and it came to a whopping 1.0x GB which included all folders etc.
I was paying around $AU18.20/mth for the O365 account.
Now I'm paying around $AU19/yr for email hosting at Zoho and just IMAPing it to my PC.
I already had a copy of Office 2016 which I had uninstalled and was using the O365 version. I hardly use that either, only Outlook and Onenote and teeny bit of Word.
Untangling myself from Onedrive and Exchange Online has been a bit of work, lost a few emails and photos & contacts, but nothing world ending.I'd really hate to have to do all that without any real knowledge of Onedrive & Exchange, you'd lose stuff everywhere I reckon.
-
Iām curious why you lost anything at all?
Is the non office version of O365 not available to you? That would have significantly lowered your monthly cost and left you with OneDrive for business.
Plus you could have moved to Outlook.com or Gmail for free, then paid like $1/m for onedrive if you wanted -

Yes. (Both).
Files that I regularly use and need sync'd (pics and such from my phone) are on my NextCloud server which is backed up to Wasabi. (~1TB of data right now).
