I could never get this to work on my home network. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another alternative for contact, calendar, and task syncing is EteSync, which is end-to-end encrypted: https://www.etesync.com
I access radicale via an nginx proxy with proper HTTPS (LetsEncrypt) and an HTPASSWD over that, so the setup is secure. However radicale default setup is not secure, I agree.
I used to be a user of both Syncthing and Resilio Sync, but i've replaced both with regular cloud storage with Cryptomator or rclone+crypt instead (Cryptomator for clients). It turns out that the power consumption of keeping redundant hardware running at home is about twice as high as just buying the same storage in the cloud, and then you need to figure in the cost of hardware as well. I.e. Microsoft Family 365 can…
Decentralized solutions are always going to be less cost-effective than central services. We still should do it anyway. Optimizing for cost is a mistake. It makes us overly dependent on the big companies. It makes us fragile and susceptible to any change in their terms.

Do you happen to have a list of these unusual characters ?
It seems to be anything which isn't either ASCII or UTF-8. My father's PC had files written by old versions of OpenOffice (when it was called StarOffice), with "native" names but before his PC was set up to use UTF-8. Early versions of Syncthing didn't have problems with those files, but later versions refused to back them up. I had to rename all those files one by one to get it working again.
With Android 11, I think this breaks my use case. Android 11 apps, with a few exceptions, can only access files they create. You can add in a "grant all" access, but google limits that to certain apps, like file sharing apps. My use case is I want to "de-cloud" my life, and use syncthing to push things like wireguard keys to my phone, along with backing up photos and pushing down audiobooks and music. I bought a fair…
I'm not sure about external SD cards, though, since I haven't tested this.

If you ever have to do to this again checkout convmv - this can convert for example latin1 encoded file names into utf8 encoded file names.
Lack of an iOS app is a dealbreaker.
In the following scenario realtime syncing would then fail silently:
- You have a server A which contains files which you are editing.
- You have setup realtime syncing between server A and a machine B.
- On server A you have a Docker container which runs Samba and is hosting the directories of server A which contains the files you are editing.
- You are editing those files on a machine where you mounted those shares. Upon saving, the files on server A would be modified, but inotify would not trigger and the file would not get synced to machine B.
