I want to be able to access the same content from my laptop, phone, and tablet. I used Obsidian for a while with a convoluted setup (a Git repo with an iOS shortcut that fetched when the Obsidian app was launched), but it proved too slow and error-prone to continue using.

I want the whole stack to be open source, which is why I’m not using Obsidian Sync or an iOS Syncthing client. So while I don’t technically need web client, I don’t know of any other solution that would work for me.

I understand your concern, personally syncthing does a perfect job for me. I'm never editing from multiple devices at the same time, and by the time I switch to another device the content is synced. If not, I give it a little time and it makes me pause and use computers a little bit less, so it's not that much of a downside.
How are you using Syncthing on iOS?
Oh, sorry, I didn't understand you were using iOS, I don't use Apple products and I didn't know there was no proper syncthing on iOS.
They said they're on Android.
How about using iCloud for sync?
