I'll plug EteSync. No affiliation, but they do E2EE contact/calendar sync too and it works well. It's also open source/self hostable, but it's also only $2/month to use the hosted version.

I use SyncThing for file syncing and it works splendidly, so I'll have to try this out and see how it compares to EteSync. At first glance, EteSync is simpler

I didn't remember the differences with DAVx⁵ and decSync (that I'm using with syncthing), they're very similar I guess the main difference is what they sync to: webDAV, local, EteSync server?

The only weird step for me is when I restore the LineageOS seedvault backup that already carries the contacts.

I use DAVx⁵ too. It's good for stuff like syncing with Google calendar on a degoogled phone, like if you work at a place that uses gcal. Very different than decsync/EteSync from what I understand.
