Best way to install NextCloud?

[SuperWhisk]

Given that the officially supported NextCloud plugin only launched last October, the majority of posts on the forums here pre-date the officially supported plugin. The general consensus I saw in those posts is "install it yourself, people have problems with the plugin and it doesn't get updated very quickly". This presumably refers to a former community supported plugin which may or may not share most of the same code with the new official one.
So my question is, acknowledging that it's only been 8 months, is this advice still valid or should I just use the official plugin? I certainly can install it myself, but that would take a lot longer just to (in theory) achieve the same thing.

My setup for context:
TrueNAS 12.0-U8.1 Virtualized under ESXi with HBA passed through (considering switching to XCP-NG, but that should be mostly irrelevant for this question)

I want to run NextCloud in a jail rather than a separate VM to simplify the storage connection (and I heard it runs just as well under freeBSD anyway), but I could do it in a linux VM external to TrueNAS if there were strong arguments for doing so. There are plenty of processor cores and memory to go around regardless of which route I go with.
I currently plan to expose NextCloud using HA-Proxy on my pfSense box for easy Lets Encrypt SSL (exposed only internally and via VPN)

I've been running Nextcloud in a standard jail using the Nextcloud package for a few years now trouble free. I guess it depends on how experienced you are on installing and configuring something like Nextcloud. If you can handle configuring nginx and php yourself then go the route of a standard jail and the nextcloud package. If not maybe the plugin or something like @danb35 script may be a better option for you.

I have limited experience with php and nginx specifically, but I'm no stranger to unix cli, nor am I afraid of reading documentation and/or danb35's script (I am a software developer). I was mostly just wondering if the official plugin is stable enough to use/if there are any downsides to using it. It would certainly save me time, which is always a good thing if the tradeoffs are reasonable.

@danb35's is highly recommended, the script avoids typical pitfalls and is ultimately a one-click-solution, given that you worked your way through the doc on github and do some reading in the thread beforehand.
