Without paying for remote backups, can I just manage my own backup on my own hard drive, and restore it when I want to?

Yes! That has been supported for a long while. At least on Android, go to Settings -> Chats -> Chat Backups. Set up a schedule and a passphrase and a folder, and it will export your chats every day.

I do that and then sync that folder with another computer using SyncThing.

I do not see anything like that in Android 14 uLefone Armor 24 is on 14 vendor build. I've had to use a dodgy app to back up messages.
