I'm still setting up my own home server, adding one functionality at a time. I wanted to like Nextcloud but it's just too bloated.

Radicale is a good calendar replacement. I'd rather have single-function apps at this point.

Any good file syncing/drive replacements? My Synology exists pretty much because Synology Drives works so well syncing Mac and iOS.

I think you could replace Nextcloud's syncing and file access use cases with Syncthing and Copyparty respectively. IMO the biggest downside is that Copyparty's UX is... somewhat obtuse. It's super fast and functional, though.

Seafile works pretty well. The iOS app is ass though. Everything else is rock solid.

I've read good things about Seafile and have considered setting it up on my Homelab... though when I looked at the documentation, it too seemed quite large and I worried it wouldn't be the lightweight solution I'm looking for.

You might like Peergos, which is E2EE as well. Disclosure (I work on it).

You can try it out easily here: https://peergos-demo.net

Our iOS app is still in the works still though.
