Any guidance on this? I looked into Synthing at one time to backup Android phones and got overwhelmed very quickly. I’d love to use it in a similar fashion to NextCloud for syncing between various computers too.
Well, it works in a different way than NextCloud. You don’t have a server, instead you just make a share between your computers and they are all peers.
It takes some getting used to the idea, but it’s actually much simpler than NextCloud.
Yep, I’ve adapted all of my setup to syncthing, and never looked back.

So if I wanted to sync photos from my phone to the computer, then delete the local copies on my phone to save space, that would not work?
E: But keep the copies on the computer, of course
You would have to move them into some folder you are not syncing.
