> 1. Setup to sync via icloud was very straightforward and 100% fine for "non-tech saavy"

As someone who did support for 1Password years ago, this is patently false. It was "fine" for tech savvy users, for everyone else it was a big opportunity for problems.

New "issues" came about from the switch to a hosted solution, but data syncing issues, mostly, disappeared.

Also, to confirm the other commenters, your password is never sent to 1Password in any situation where syncing is involved, whether it be Dropbox/iCloud or the hosted solution. And with the hosted solution your account key is also never sent to 1Password. This is also well documented in their Security White Paper.
