There are not obvious solutions for all use cases, because some of those use cases implies sharing with others under different conditions (because they are role passwords, device/software passwords and other ways to be unique even if multiple people can use and update them), while others are personal (and may or not be used from different devices). Using the same password repository for all, specially if it depends on a single player the access of the repository or the client application could be risky. Having an open format for the database, if self hosted/replicated is something good to have

I agree with the suggestion of using keepass/keepassxc/etc for personal passwords and other solutions for sharing with different partners. It was a good experience in general to use pass (or some alternative UI, like gopass) to use gpg+git to securely share passwords in an environment where that was possible. But sometimes you have to adapt to what already is being used or is accepted by the other players, and not always that is the safest in your opinion, in those cases limit your exposition.
