I use the devices primarily as clients for cloud computing services: IMAP email boxes, Signal, Google Voice, Standard Notes, Spotify, Feedly, ProtonMail, Slack, Mattermost, et c. I find I have relatively little need for "sharing things across devices" that aren't met by the cloud functionality of apps.

The big one I thought I was going to miss: contacts sync. I don't miss it. I keep a phone number list in Standard Notes. Most of the functionality of Signal's "recent conversations" covers this need for me.

I'm setting up nextcloud soon and I understand that can do contacts/calendar sync to iOS. The only thing I haven't found a solution for is email inbox delegation and shared calendars.

You're right that this would make a good writeup.
