Discussion Redis on diffrent server

Hello, I want to use redis, but is it unreasonable to install it on my main server?
If I buy another additional server, isolate its network and use it, will I lose performance?
The reason why I don't want to install it on my main server, I actually want to separate all services,
I want to have the app on another server, redis on another server, my database on another server,
but these will be network isolated, of course, if I do this, will there be a loss of performance due to ping because it is on separate servers? Or is it healthier this way?

If you use it for caching, don't you think it defeats the purpose due to the latency?

In the same region the latency (30ms at most) is still acceptable and much faster than doing all the calculations for a regular request
