I really liked your *detailed* post! It really is a detailed and
comprehensive answer.

Thanks :)

In my use case, I have both a safe and a secure remote server machine (VM)
and a raspberry Pi at my home to run continuously & incessantly 24/7.
I have three computers. One at work a laptop and a desktop computer.
What I want is for the three computers to have specific directories and
files shared/synchronized.
( Probably the whole /home directory of my user. )
I also want to be able to sometimes share/send my files - securely - to
third parties.
What do you think is the best approach for me?
Maybe Syncthing + Nextcloud ?

As far as I can tell, for this situation, Nextcloud would be able to handle
all of the needs. You could run it on either your local Raspberry Pi (which
might become overloaded depending on how often you chagen your files) or your
remote server. The server might be more stable and easier to access through
a public link thus I would conclude that installing Nextcloud on the server
would be worth trying.
