I made an open-source, self-hostable synced narration platform for ebooks
Amazing! I've made a similar ebooks-audiobooks aligner years ago: https://github.com/r4victor/syncabook. At that time, I chose to synthesize the text and align two audio sequences because I found texts-alignment approaches (including ML-based ones) too compute-intensive and inadequate for long texts. I see Storyteller works by aligning the texts. Could you give some view on how long it takes to sync a book?
Also, my experience was that audio and text versions are often very different (e.g. the audio having an intro missing from the text). It'd very interesting to know how well Storyteller handles such cases. Does it require manual audio/text editing or handle the differences automatically?

I decided to spruce up the eBook I'm reading with additional functionality (more info in comments)
Unfortunaly, this audiobook isn't synchorized to the text on Kindle. So, in order to synchronize the epub and audio myself, initially, I tried using syncabook, but the results weren't great for some reason. I then tried using OpenAI's Whisper to generate the text from the audio. This might've given decent results, but ultimately I decided I wanted to keep the book's formatting (paragraphs, emphasis, etc.)

Anyone know of a tool to align (existing) subtitles to audio along sentence boundaries?
I've tried syncabook, but that didn't help. I've tried whisperX, to get word-level timings, but the results are pretty bad/unusable.

Have you found a way to get epub3 audio-ebooks?
From searching a bit I found https://github.com/r4victor/syncabook this might help anyone intrigued about the idea. I suspect this is the tool you're talking about? Your post is really a long form question, and could have been a lot shorter.

Installing w/Docker
The basics are same across most any container, you probably need to map some network ports, and map some storage paths, and then you are pretty good to go. There can be more than that, but those are kind of the minimums. For instance, the example compose file for audiobookshelf does just that, maps a port, and some storage and that's about it.

It is important that ebooks be sold without DRM
Move away as in find another audiobook vendor? Or simply retain access to your existing collection?
Audiobooks from Audible can be downloaded via the UI. They will have DRM, but it's possible to remove.
If you have audiobook files without DRM you can listen to them via any app that plays audio, but there's also at least one OSS project that aims to fill audiobook UI niche [1].

Selfhosting RSS not showing new episodes
Using Audiobookshelf (https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf) and hosing my own podcast with an rss feed. It works just perfect in other podcast apps but in Pocket Casts, that used to work, I can't no longer see new episodes starting from about a week ago. I have never been able to stream the episodes either, just download and listen, this also works in iOS Podcaster app.
What are some alternatives?
