Syncthing: Untrusted Device Encryption
I know that cryfs[1] is resilient to at least the first of these, and possibly the second as well. I don't know if cryfs allows to modify the base directory while the filesystem is online, if it does then it might already be a better solution for syncthing, if you only care about Linux.
On the flip side syncthing could incorporate cryfs's base directory format instead of their home-grown one.

Neon Vaults: Can't Mount My Vault Any More
When I tried cryfs mounting via file system, cryfs told me there was no vault at my vault directory. It says specifically, "Could not find base directory. Do you want to create it?"

How do I Password-Protect a single folder?
you have a couple options. if you’re using ext4, fscrypt might be your best bet. if not, a FUSE-based encryption option is probably your only option. ecryptfs, gocryptfs and encfs are good, but i personally prefer cryfs. it doesn’t have an archwiki page, but can be installed from the repos and instructions for use can be found on its webpage

File-by-file encryption tool? (Cryptomator alternative)
It sounds like cryfs might be helpful for this. It stores an encrypted directory in the cloud but mounts the decrypted contents locally on your hard drive so you can work with them. I'm still looking into it myself but it appears to have been designed to let people use cloud storage without ever revealing the contents to the provider.

Veracrypt and alternatives.
CryFS - Intended to replace eCryptfs and fscrypt (which you can also look at if CryFS doesn't work for you) and add improvements. Unlike LUKS and veracrypt, you don't have to allocate the space in advance; as you add more data it just has more files containing the encrypted data. It is also intended to work with cloud sync things like Dropbox. So I expect you should also be able to store it in an NFS or samba share and then mount it so the encryption happens locally and the server never sees the unencrypted data. If you use KDE, the "vaults" program provides a good UI. Details at https://www.cryfs.org/
