Sanity check - NAS with backups (aussie.zone)

I've had an old laptop running Home Assistant for quite a while. I've recently started getting into docker. I'm part way through setting up a NAS and want to check if I'm doing anything really stupid.

My ideas so far:

Samba sharing a host folder on the local network
Rsync for regular backups to a separate host folder
WireGuard to connect directly to an offsite laptop with the same setup
Syncthing for realtime synchronisation and temporary file versioning
Home Assistant for rsync backup monitoring

Are there any issues with this setup, and is there anything else I should consider?

That seems unecessarily complex, but I guess you would need to explain more about your usecase.

P.S.: Samba is horrible 😅
