When I was setting Nextcloud up, it also seemed to me that it might be
overkill (in particular as I had to do it several times due to SD and
external HDD failure). However, now it has been stable for a couple of
years.
I wonder what I would miss if I move to syncthing. I mainly just use
the file sync, contacts, calendaring, and photo upload features of
Nextcloud.
