Nextcloud is, as the name says, a dedicated server used as a cloud. Syncthing only syncronises fders between devices. You dont need a dedicated server for this that stores all the data.

  I think the “normal” usage is having an always on computer as a server and link all other devices to that one for updates.

  it doesn’t say if it uses one of their servers
  
  It does not.
  
  if the two devices should be up at the same time
  
  You can’t sync 2 devices when they have no way to connect to each other, so no.
  
  I would recommend getting a server. And by “server” I mean literally any computer with Syncthing installed and left on.
