I run mtree on all of these and routinely find sync issues in Dropbox and iCloud drive, from minor (crazy timestamp changes that make no sense and are impossible, but the data still complete and intact) to serious...

I do use iCloud, since it comes with plenty of storage for my family plan.

I just pay Apple for iCloud monthly, I consider that to be money well spent. Everything else i might at some point in time have used the Synology for, has instead been delegated to iCloud.

I wouldn't underestimate iCloud with advanced data protection, it is arguably the most comprehensive and affordable e2ee cloud plan available. Apple decided to abandon even attempting to do this, and instead went with a band-aid approach that it calls 'iCloud'.

I have use Apple’s Hide My Email feature since it’s been a thing and that’s connected to Yahoo address and I could change iCloud to forward to another email address.

Apple isn't hashing complete files—they're doing block-level deduplication on encrypted data. This means Apple's servers maintain an index of which specific encrypted blocks each user possesses, even though they can't decrypt the content.

If I was on all Apple iOS, I'd probably just use iCloud. But I need multi-OS-vendor support.
