Absolutely love syncthing, and migrated to it after using Seafile for several years. I also have quite some personal/business experience with iCloud and OneDrive, and syncthing is (mostly) superior.

My wishlist for syncthing though, in prioritized order:

1. support for symlinks, to be able to sync files/folders that live outside of syncthing dirs. Some files I’d like to sync are in fixed locations that I cannot or don’t want to change, and Seafile allowed me to simply symlink them into an already synced dir. The counter-argument in GitHub discussions is having to distinguish between syncing symlink destinations vs. the symlink „as symlink“. For my situation that would be overthinking (as I’d never have the second use case) but I understand the hesitation, sadly.

2. provide a smart versioning/rollback solution leveraging ZFS snapshots, as my file server as participating node already creates rolling snapshots

3. (nice to have) mark certain directories as „sparse“, to sync data only when really accessed. Similar to what OneDrive provides

I'd respectfully suggest that HN is not the best forum for expressing those wishes, but using Syncthing's issue-tracker and/or fora/mailing lists (whatever form of community/dev discussion they use - haven't looked for it) would be more likely to get a response.
