I'll message them on github and see if they're able to push an update with the fix, otherwise I might just do as you said and start using a lamp instance so I can apply bug fixes when needed.
I've heard that Hetzner is a great alternative, so maybe consider giving them a try.
yes, we are hetzner customers too! We try to spread our services across many provides, just for reliability reasons. But true, sometimes they have some very nice deals, let me check.
