How do you like it? I was hoping a community as sufficiently nerdy as the ttrpg community would have made an open source alternative by now but it looks like selfhosting proprietary software with a modding platform is as close as we can get.

There is one open source VTT I know of: Fari App. It didn’t have any docker ready images last I checked. But you can play online in their server and all content is saved locally in your machine on JSON files. Sadly, new development has stopped and the author is only doing maintenance now.
I’ve only played theater of the mind on Foundry, with the Cortex system. So I can’t give you feedback on maps and the like. We used inspirational images and the tokens were sometimes manipulated to represent who’s with who. That was very easy to do. Also the dice animation running through the screen and the sounds are really neat. Plus it all works in your browser, no local software install.
