For me, the involvement of another is a motivation amplifier. I sometimes pay people to work on my projects with me even if they contribute almost nothing.
Yeah that's true, the point you made about collaborators not being on the same page as you.
But what if people contact you (instead of you reaching out to anyone) to work with you because they think your project is cool (or some other reason), would you then prefer working with them (assuming you think they are a good developer)?
I like to work solo and with someone else, but usually it's difficult get someone that work with pasión overall when there is not a secure salary or earnings.
My side projects have been solo endeavors but I think I would enjoy working with someone. It would be helpful if there were role definitions. I wish QAs were more interested in side projects.

It's also difficult to find collaborators who are on the same page. Often you need to spend time educating team members.
Collaboration and communication are unavoidable for large projects though. I therefore have to stay minimal for side projects.
