Comment on Syncing Calendars with Syncthing, CalDav, Radicale and DAVx5

I assume you already know about DecSync CC? You can point it at a DecSync folder and integrate the calendars from it into your system. DAVx5 shouldn’t be needed in this setup.
For what it’s worth, I used to run this Radicale+DecSync setup and switched away from DecSync to DAVx5 because it was easier to manage - DecSync is not native to Radicale. You need to have your Android hit your Radicale server with DAVx5 directly, and DAVx5 will cache the data if you move away from your network.

Thank you! I got it working now with the macOS using Thunderbird, Radicale and DecSync and the Android side using DecSync CC and Simple Calendar.

I’ve recently looked into this too. I’ve settled on Calengoo as Android calendar app because it has a ton of customization options and can do both events and tasks in the same app. But it depends on GSF (Google Services Framework); if you intend to keep your Android phone completely Google-free it may not work (no idea if it works with MicroG as a GSF substitute). Calengoo can use Android calendar to sync (via DAVx5 or CalDAV-Sync), but can also connect directly to a CalDAV server.
Simple Calendar does not rely on GSF so it doesn’t have this problem.
Another app I found that works without GSF is Business Calendar from Appgenix (the old version 1). The free one works fine, they also have a Pro version if you’d like to contribute. Version 2 requires GSF unfortunately. Neither of them support CalDAV tasks, only events.
