Comment on Would this flow work with Immich & Syncthing to copy images and auto upload and delete?

Why such a mess? Either use immich with its upload or use syncthing (I use the latter).
Immich sucks in providing folder based albums, but excells in phone photo backup and sync!

I want to use immich mostly for viewing

You can use external libraries in immich. You just point to any folder on your disk and you can see everything, but can’t edit files. Timeline, maps, face recognition, search,…everything works and you can still keep folder organized images.
Personally I use both. Auto upload everything from my phone (camera, screenshots, etc) and also using external library as folder structured pictures from nextcloud. It doesn’t create albums automatically tho

My problem is that external libraries are readonly

There are better options for viewing… Imho

can you recommend me something else?

There are many.
Personally I use both PiGallery2 (great folder view, super fast) and HomeGallery (innovative browsing approach, modern looks).
They will both work with your existent file/folder structure and will update as you add or remove photos.
