As firefox's sync is end-to-end encrypted, I don't think it's bad for privacy. Firefox can't see your details even if they wanted to due to this protocol.

What is the most efficient way to run PWA (Progressive Web Apps), there are many browsers that do it (Chrome, Chromium, Vivaldi, Brave, Edge), which one will be the lightest and less resource usage in a Debian or Fedora? Are there other options apart from the browsers?

There is an extension + companion app to do native-looking PWAs with Firefox, but it requires separate user profiles for each PWA (which means running separate Firefox instances).

Firefox does not offer this feature natively so you have to use a 3rd party utility to do it, and even those aren't super obvious. I've used FirefoxPWA in the past and it seems to work alright.
