I am using rsync triggered by cronjobs for this task now for… well… nearly forever.

If you ask Syncthing how to do local sync (e.g. to an external HDD), the answer is, use the right tool for the job: Unison.
If you ask Unison how to do certain things (directory timestamps is the one I miss), the answer is, use the right tool for the job: rsync.
In the end, it all comes down to rsync.
P.S. I’m actually gradually migrating up the chain from rsync, having used my own hand-built utility to make convenient rsync commands, but now using syncthing and Unison more.
