IMO the biggest remaining risk to this is a house fire at night while you are at home. You wake up to alarms and smoke and run out the door without your phone. All three copies of your photos will burn at once. This is where an additional off-site would be valuable. That might be a second external hard drive that you store off-site and re-sync every few months, or maybe an encrypted cloud backup using restic.

It’s pretty easy to set the Synology to upload to a cloud provider for a folder or file share. It has alerts and all sorts.

Could you do a swap with a friend/colleague? So upload to their NAS and vice versa.

For sure. I just trust Backblaze more.
