With their recent update it seems they are on the last step to making their free version completely useless – are there any good alternatives out there? Preferably something that has a similar android app. I know I could use ssh+vi in a text file, but I'd prefer something a bit more streamlined

I wanted to use Syncthing so I didn't need a server involved and didn't want to work off mapped drives/network shares. The client devices all handle the syncing themselves so the files are local on every device and kept in sync within a reasonable time period and if they can't connect for a bit, that's fine, they can work on the local files and sync up next time I'm back on the home network.

If your NAS has a similar function it can do that natively. Joplin can sync using files on the device filesystem which is how Syncthing works but it also supports syncing through a variety of other servers/services, such as Nextcloud. It's very flexible in that way.

So essentially you can do it however you choose to do it since they are just plain text files being copied around.
