It’s such a breeze to self-host your own email server using Stalwart. It has been a new era for email self-hosters like myself since these kind of fully integrated email servers like Stalwart appeared. Another good one but not as actively maintained is Maddy.

But is there any real benefit over Postfix + Dovecot other than "it's new and written in Rust?" Postfix and Dovecot have been around for decades and respect the Unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well.

Well yeah, they do one thing, but to do email well you need more than one thing. Dovecot is also kinda shit with UTF-8 support amongst other things. There are plenty of reasons to not use that combination.
