I vouch for Syncthing as well. I enabled storing in my own remote hosting provider marking it as untrusted, so my files are encrypted there.
Comment on File server with on-demand sync, preserve the filesystem, and runs without external DB?

I use Syncthing for this type of task on my PC and Phone and it stores a copy of the shared folder on the server with the option for file versioning. Having a Server is optional by the way.

AFAIK, Syncthing clones the entire folder across peers (the server is just another peer it seems), which isn’t ideal for my use case Do you know any current way to configure it for selective syncing?

Owncloud supports selective sync, and seems a lot better for performance compared to Nextcloud.
Alternatively you could roll your own with rclone which is essentially an open source alternative to mountain duck.

Non-OCIS Owncloud still needs a dedicated database and recommend against SQLite in prod
I’ve looked at rclone mounting with the --vfs-cache-* flags. But I’m not sure how it can smart sync like mountain duck or handle conflicts elegantly like the Nextcloud/Owncloud clients do. Let me know how to set it up that way if possible

I don’t think it can do selective syncing. I’ve been also searching for a similar solution but didn’t find one. Finally opted for syncthing with my most important files. Other files I can get them via web using filestash.
