Going proprietary is one thing, but doing it in several steps in different repos and saying nothing about it I really don't like...

What are open alternatives at this point?

The KeePass ecosystem has gotten a little bit better. It's still not exactly seamless. File sync across all of Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android seems to involve either proprietary user-hostile sync tools or dealing with lots of jank.

As far as I can tell, the only competitor with a similar feature set that even claims to be open-source is Proton Pass. But I can't find any information on whether the server side can be self-hosted.

Windows, Linux, Android are pretty easily + reliably covered by SyncThing.

What's the best story for iOS or MacOS?

Strongbox - I’ve been using it for the past two years. It’s been rock solid and has gotten a few useful updates in that time.
