I do, password-protected of course. It is the only "native" way I found to get server files access to my iPhone without downloading a third party app (via Files).
I really hope you lock it down to something like Tailscale so that you have a private area network and your Samba share isn’t open to the entire world.
Samba is a complicated piece of software built around protocols from the 90s. It’s designed around the old idea of physical network security where it’s isolated on a LAN and has a long long history of serious critical security vulnerabilities (eg here’s an RCE from this month https://cybersecuritynews.com/critical-samba-rce-vulnerabili...).
It seems like every network filesystem is irredeemably terrible. SMB and NFS the stuff of security nightmares, chatty performance issues, and awkward user id mapping. WebDAV is a joke. SSHFS is slow. You can get really crazy with CephFS or GlusterFS, and for all that complexity, you don't get much farther way from SMB/NFS issues with those either.

My solution: Share nothing and use rsync.
