The Issues of OCI, Modded Minecraft, and a new server host.
Hello,
For context; I am currently trying to run a modded (334 mods) server and I noticed an issue that whenever a 3rd player joins, the server immediately has a TPS crash. From 18-20 to <14. After a while of messing in Spark, I finally figured out with the help of someone else, that this is probably because Minecraft is a single threaded game and is using up all the resources it can on that thread. This came to my attention particularly when I saw that the CPU usage of the server was capped at 40%.
Now my question is, what do I do now? I decreased the server simulation and view distance limits, and also introduced some of those Java flags. But they seemed to barely help. It is definetely an issue with the infrastructure I'm using (which is Ubuntu 22 on an OCI Instance with 4 OCPUs and 24gb).
At this point, I am ready to just pay for a minecraft server. I kinda already am with Oracle as I had to upgrade my storage so I could run backups. What VPS hosting services should I go with? I am very frustrated seeing whats available with standard Minecraft VPS' making features like 24hr backup or a dedicated IP address cost extra money, when the former is provided free (kinda) with my current AMP panel and the latter is provided free from Oracle (afiak). Also on AMP, I really don't want to give it up. It did just cost a one time payment of $10 with the $7 domain registration, which is really nothing but it would still be frustrating to have to get rid of it.
There is also the option of continue using OCI. Afiak just increasing the OCPUs wont help at all given the nature of the problem I'm having, but I have genuinely no idea what sort of instance I could even set up that would be ideal.
I know I could also technically buy a used or new computer to set up as a dedicated server in my own home. But I cannot do that in the current place I live.
Overall, I'm really just lost as to hosting service I should use now.

Mod Incompatibility with XaeroPlus
As stated in the title, there is a mod incompatibility between DH 2.1 and XaeroPlus 1.20.1. When these two mods are enabled it crashes a crash sometime during launch with the attached error message.
Launching w/o XaeroPlus makes the game launch successfully (though the modpack completely breaks without XaeroPlus)
I am running Prominence 2 Classic with FirstPerson, Camera Overhaul, Sound Physics Remastered, and Framed Blocks added on top.
I would like to see, primarily, if there is a workaround, and secondarily if it can be added to the known incompatibilities (as it seems I'm not the first person with this issue https://gitlab.com/jeseibel/distant-horizons/-/issues/568 ).
