I'm doing both professional and hobby work with VPSs and SSH and there is no problem with that. Few less layers to take care of

What about backups? What about the vps going down? What about upgrading the server? What about security updates?

Professional work on VPS is either a lot more work, or not that professional. If it is not being a lot more work then you're not providing the same service, security and guarantees to your customers.

This is where PaaS shine. Easy and safe. And if you factor in your own time, then cheaper too.

All of those problems have nothing to do with using a vps.

Yes, they do. You get these "for free" with any PaaS. You have to do it yourself with vps or custom in house kubernetes.
