Check out https://syncthing.net/

Written in Go, its lightweight (runs on my beaglebone and pi's) and has been absolutely stable for me for years (100 GB, 10+ devices). It hits all the requirement except encrypted nodes.

I am a happy syncthing user too.

I use Restic https://github.com/restic/restic to cover the encrypted backup use case

Syncthing looks like everything I'd want. But, I cannot consider it because I wont be able to access my data from ios/iPhone. Hopefully someone builds that integration in future...

You could use a combination of syncthing and NextCloud.

NextCloud checks some of your boxes, and is a nice front-end that could run on top of a syncthing synchronized folder.

Cool idea. I will try this combination soon. For someone who has not been following the projects, NextCloud vs Owncloud? Which one should I choose now?

Definitely NextCloud.

There is a client for Android though.
