Running a private server involves listening to the p2p network for incoming transactions, performing validation on receipt and organizing a mempool, performing transaction selection, and relaying blocks to auditors - none of which is tested in a reindex. A reindex would give you an optimistic upper bound though, if that's all you care about.
