I don’t delete them from the phone so that’s a bit of a dilemma.

Again, Syncthing supports one-way sync so allowing paperless to delete them and having that delete sync back to the phone is entirely optional.

I mean, how does Syncthing know not to copy a file again if it copied it once and paperless deleted it?

The client on the sender side knows it sent the file. It doesn’t care if the receiver side changed or deleted it. That’s why the mode is called “Send Only”.

The phone sync client would have to remember all the files it ever sends, which could be thousands. I’ve never seen a sync client that works like that, they usually compare the files that are in the source and destination folders. If syncthing can do this that’s really interesting.
