Local Obsidian + Syncthing.

The magic of obsidian is that I rarely have to actually open obsidian. As the notes are in plain markdown, I usually just do my input from vim or vscode.

The magic of Syncthing is that it's (mostly) a set and forget thing.

The setup works on my PC, laptop, mobile and VPS.

Everything is backed up daily from a single point to a S3 backend with Restic. Also a set and forget thing.

Same setup for me. Obsidian+Syncthing+Restic (with B2). Works great
obsidian + syncthing on desktop + icloud on mobile
Don't you get constant sync conflicts? I set it up yesterday, and everytime I open Obsidian on iPad or PC (not at the same time) I get conflicts in two or three files (not my Markdown files, but some json files).
I just use markdown files and even some part of it accessible by my wife, still no conflict. Could be an issue about json
I also use Markdown files. Obsidian's own json config files conflict.
I got it now, but I've never see any conflict
