I have been considering https://bewcloud.com/ + Immich as an alternative
Nextcloud's client support is very good though and it has some great apps, I use PhoneTrack on road trips a lot

Immich is a night and day improvement for photos vs nextcloud. You could roll it in addition if you wanted to try.

If every aspect of Nextcloud was as clean, quick and light-weight as PhoneTrack this world would be a different place. The interface is a little confusing but once I got the hang of it it's been awesome and there's just nothing like it. I use an old phone in my murse with PhoneTrack on it and that way if I leave it on the bus (again) I actually have a chance of finding it.
No $35/month subscription, and I'm not sharing my location data with some data aggregator (aside from Android of course).
Fantastic recommendation, it's like exactly what the doctor ordered given the premise of this thread. Does Bewcloud play nice with DAV or other open protocols or (dare I hope) nextcloud apps? I wouldn't mind using nextcloud apps paired with a better web front end.
bewCloud creator here, it does play nice with WebDAV, CalDAV, and CardDav. That's what's used for file/photo sync, calendars, and contacts.
It does not support Nextcloud apps (and I don't ever plan to). If you're looking for extensibility, it's not a great option for you (I've been feeling some "pressure" to add a plugin system, but I'm very concerned it'll compromise bewCloud's main value drivers — it's speed, low resource use, simplicity, and ease of use).
