This method works very well. I have one large text file containing all my credentials, stored in a an encrypted VeraCrypt file.
I have all this stored in my Linux box. I backup to my server side encrypted AWS S3 bucket protected with 2FA. No need for me to sync anything, but if I need access to my VeraCrypt file, I can download it when required.
I've used this method for two decades now, first using OSX .dmg files, then TrueCrypt, now VeraCrypt. Simple, and works well.

I suppose the main pain with this method would be accessing the passwords on other devices. For example, I'd prefer to be able to copy/paste password on my phone, instead of referring to another computer and typing it in one random character at a time.
One benefit of the password-protect-text-file method over Lesspass is you can also save answers to so-called "security questions" (for those sites that still use them, like Paypal and government sites).
Alternatively, one can use Schneier's write-down-password-on-a-small-piece-of-paper method.
