The addition of an AI tool is a great idea.
I think Immich checks a lot of these https://immich.app/
We no longer are auto uploading to Google or Apple.
So far, I really like it. I haven't quite gone 100%, as we're still uploading with Synology's photo app, but Immich provides a much more refined, featured interface.
It gives a sort of high level system overview that might provide some useful insights or inspiration for you.
This may not interest you, but Ente checks most of these boxes for me. It has face recognition and AI-based object search out of the box, and you can self-host their open-source server without any restrictions. The models they used might be useful for your project.
Their pricing page doesn't say anything as far as I can find but do you still pay pay Ente if you self host the server as well as the photos ("S3-compatible object storage")?
No. (I self-host Ente and use their published ios app.)

2. The software is provided without modification; I think it would be stranger to remove the encryption.

Immich is what I'm using right now. I'm running it in a Docker container on my Synology. It was very advantageous to spin up another docker container on my laptop to do the face recognition work because the Synology was going to take forever on it.

May I ask why? Just curious as the main reason I use Immich is for the auto upload
Edit: Ugh. Can’t read. I somehow read don’t auto upload to Immich.
