relay looks kind of like what I was hoping for, I think...

except it's ANOTHER charge then. I have more than 2 devices...

I'm confused as well, does this wind up hijacking / using its own syncing? It's not just a "skin" on top of Obsidian itself, to get the benefits of it you have to use their "sync client" ?

This feels like it's something that should be part of the core product or at least Obsidian's own Sync product

Hey, developer behind Relay here.

Yes, our sync engine is home-grown. We use CRDTs to provide real-time google-docs-like collaboration which is not something Obsidian supports (yet... i think they are working on it).

Note that you can self-host a Relay server and join it to our network. This gives you complete control over your data and unmetered storage. We do still charge for seats if you have more than 3 collaborators.
