I've long since "given up" organizing my files.
I was a long time user of one or more NAS boxes (first was a Synology DS101g+), and ran everything self hosted up until 3-5 years ago.
These days i just throw everything in the cloud, using Cryptomator[1] for privacy where applicapable, and everything else lives on a Mac Mini at home with a couple of USB drives attached, whose main purpose is backing up the cloud data. It also acts as a local server for media files, but i don't "hoard" as many files to confuse Plex enough that it can't figure it out.
For photos, i use whatever format Apple Photos use. I keep 300k photos in there, and it serves it up happily, and allows me to search fast enough by dates/locations and to some extent content.
While i'm "too old" to buy into Spotify/Apple Music/Whatever, and still purchase all music i listen to, i do buy it from iTunes, and i let iTunes handle the organization. I simply backup the data (only music, as movies have DRM, so no point in backing it up)
For mail/calendar i also just use the standard MacOS/iOS mail client.
All of the above "works". It gives me a searchable interface to whatever i want to find, without me having to bother too much about how it's stored. Of course i organize files in folders/directories by content/purpose, but beyond that i don't do much sorting.
The only place where i still struggle to find a good workflow is for note taking. While i don't write many notes, i do take notes every day, but working from multiple locations, with different computers, and not being able to use the same cloud solutions across home and work networks, i find it difficult to find a "one true source" approach to digital note taking.
I'm currently using a RocketBook[2] for notetaking, which is essentially an erasable/reusable notebook that supports easily scanning and archiving the page thanks to a unique QR code on every page, along with a "checkbox" that specifies where the note should be filed (email, OneNote, EverNote, etc). It also does OCR, and supports sending my sometimes illegible handwriting as a PDF along with the OCR attempt.

I don't use Cryptomator for backups, i use it for encrypting and accessing my data in the cloud.
For Cloud backups i use Arq (https://www.arqbackup.com/).
It supports A LOT of different cloud providers, and does proper versioned, deduplicated backups.
Another great looking (but not yet stable!) option would be Kopia (https://kopia.io/) which is open source, and does much of the same stuff as Arq, and even supports deduplication across multiple backup sources. Duplicacy (https://duplicacy.com/) does as well, but i've not used it much.
