First off: you've come a long way. Great setup, keep it up!
As others have said, I'd reduce your reliance on Proton. I'd particularly ditch their password manager in favour of something like KeepassXC and combine it with Syncthing (which you're already using) in order to keep your passwords out of the cloud, but synced between your devices. Always think in terms of blast radius: if an attacker gets access to your Proton account (either because you fuck up or they do), they will have access to anything that's in there. Having your e-mail + pw manager there increases blast radius dramatically and allows not only for access to, but full takeover of your accounts in case of a breach.
