If I explicitly DON’T want sync between machines (my workflows are very machine specific), does atuin give me anything significant over my current fzf based C-r?

I don't use the sync feature, but I will say that "my workflows are very machine specific" is one of the reasons I use Atuin. When working in containers, I sometimes share an Atuin database volume between them, to save history relevant to those containers.
On MacOS the main reason I reach for Atuin is that I have never been able to get ZSH to store history properly. Atuin saves history to SQLite, which so far has been much more reliable. It also enables some nice features like being able to search commands run from the same directory.
