iCloud sync is too unreliable and opaque for me.

It has been reliable for me with Obsidian. I still prefer Obsidian Sync because it has good integrated version history and shared vaults.

Also agree with the sibling poster - I like subscribing to support them on a regular basis (and of course Catalyst).

Yes I found it wasn't reliable. Perhaps it has improved, but Obsidian Sync has been excellent. I'm happy to support the developer as I'd like Obsidian to stick around.

Obsidian Sync is great (it helps that I got in on early-bird pricing...but it really is reliable).

In addition, the Git plugin, coupled with Working Copy on my iPhone and iPad, also work extremely well, with a bit of added overhead. Though iCloud works reasonably well for just about everything else, I haven't used it for syncing Obsidian data.
