Does it make sense to start operating a non-exit relay from home for a longer term? I’m thinking about at least getting a T-Shirt (the more uptime, the better).

Sure it does. I signed up for a 200mbps symmetric fiber line only to help tor. If you're not being an exit, there's nothing to worry about.

However, my concerns are the daily disconnect and the dynamic IP.

Daily disconnect? If you're on ADSL/fiber there isn't such a thing. The IP usually changes when you restart/reset the router so, barring a blackout, that is hardly going to happen. And if you get an UPS as I did, you may be in the middle of a blackout but still be connected to the net :^).
