A few years back I used to use SyncThing + DecSync for that purpose, and it worked quite well. Looks like it hasn't been updated in a while though.

Why is calDav such a mess?

There is decsync that works pretty good on Android. It stores contacts & calendars in a text file that can be synced with syncthing. There is a plugin for Evolution (Linux Mail client) but none for Thunderbird. But there is a plugin for Radicale, which is a caldav server. So you can run a local caldav server, connect Thunderbird to it and sync the decsync database with syncthing to your phone.

What's an open source solution to have a synced calendar in phone and computer that doesn't require self hosting?

I am a bit puzzled why so few people use DecSync and Syncthing for this?
Why isn't DecSync with Syncthing listed in the contacts and calendars section?

I found some discussion here which is confusing when it says it wasn't designed to function this way when their own documentation seems to indicate otherwise.
Looking for privacy-friendly RSS / News aggregator option that syncs feeds between Android and Windows PC

I'm fine with either paying for software, or self-hosting something. If I go the self-host route, however, I would need to start and learn completely from square one. I saw some options in my searches that required software on my own server, but I wouldn't even know where to begin with that. DecSync came up in my searches, but based on the description I'm not sure if it would be linux only or not. (I'm on windows)
