You can have it use more than one account and more than one user can use the instance. Also, I do not use it to hide my occasional peek at an X thread linked to from some article from the X-man, I use it because it is at least 10 times faster than the lethargic drugged ground sloth that is the X site. I do not 'use' X (not Twitter before that) since I never considered the character-limited shout-your-blurb style it promotes to be fitting to what I want to say and how I want to say it. Nitter enables me to see what is said, quickly. I don't need more than that.
But you're still making specific requests with it from your IP, which will filter into metadata and metrics. It seems like Nitter loses its original value proposition once it's no longer a one-to-many proxy.

How is using self-hosted Nitter as a 1:1 proxy meaningfully different from just logging in to your account?

It denies X/Twitter tracking metadata and metrics.
