I still use KeePassXC and sync with cron jobs to Chroot SFTP-Only servers wrapped in a further encrypted file, then conversely use cron to pull the file to devices. I do not personally foresee ever using any of the commercial solutions. I also use this to sync bookmarks.

If KeePassXC one day becomes unmaintained I will make my own custom tool, probably using sqlite+openssl+bash. I only log into one semi-sensitive thing on my phone so I don't bother syncing to that device.

How do you avoid merge conflicts? Do you only ever edit your KeePassXC files on one machine?

Most of the time, yes. I can edit the copy and push it back to the SFTP server but that push is manual. I have done that from time to time. I do not share the file with anyone else so I always have confidence which version is up to date. I also have rsnapshot copies of the files.

Some versions of KeePass support a synchronisation which gets around collisions
ditto.. KeePassXC + contemporary cloud store
I recommend syncthing
