Looking for some software to help organize my photos which are currently spread out across lots of random backups. Something that displays the metadata usefully and identifies identical photos would be a big help.

Does NOT need to sync to phone or anything, just need help sorting things into a navigable structure on my machine locally.

I spun up immich on my computer and it does basically everything you're asking for. Its duplication detection is pretty good, but definitely tweak the parameters so you don't get too many false positive matches.

I've been eyeing immich for a few years now, but I haven't committed due to concerns about how to handle backups. What is your approach?

I mount a filesystem from a nas which is backed up to S3 with my other data.
