I don't want to blame anyone for using this setup except RIPE for their fee schedule. For example, I don't have IPv6 because that would double my running costs just for RIPE.
Ok, for reference, I'm paying my LIR about 150 EU/year. That includes the ASN, IPv6 /44 block, and a BGP VPS. I have a legacy IPv4 /24 block that doesn't cost me anything. I do miss out on RPKI for it because of that.
Outside of that, I have another couple of VPSes I use for experimenting with routing and fail over that are closer to my location. The VPSes are connected to my home network and each other over Wireguard.
€75 per assignment / sponsored resource
€50 per ASN assignment
So in your case it's only €50 for the AS-object but your LIR needs to allocate their LIR base fee costs (which includes the IPv6 PA that they assigned to you), also infrastructure, the VM, support.
I really like the couple of LIRs that are very active in supporting one-person-multihoming setups, but IMHO RIPE should directly do that at a low entry fee. RIPE has also education/training offerings for LIRs and that would increase the knowhow and reach of RIPE. Most home lab enthusiasts will apply the gained knowledge in their job, at customers and bring new customers to RIPE.
