I'm not sure about Authenticator+ as I haven't used it, but I did use Authy. I ran into nearly the same issue when I wanted to migrate to Bitwarden - it was difficult to extract my TOTP secrets. I ended up having to write some Javascript code that would extract them for me.

Do use an encrypted cloud sync but make sure that it doesn't create a similar problem.

In this case, Authenticator+'s cloud sync is just an encrypted sqlite DB (with dirt-simple schema) that gets uploaded to Google Drive (I believe there are also other options for upload target). So it's pretty trivial to migrate to other services.
