So... I should just continue using nextcloud?
Although people mention efficiency, for many setups we just don't care. If it ain't broke for you, don't fix it. Wait, revisit the issue a year or two from now.
If it works for you, there's no reason not to keep using it.
If it looks like an upgrade in performance and simplicity and you think it's worth swapping, then you could consider it, though personally I'd wait until it's a bit more mature/proven (maybe it is already idk).
I am currently running nextcloud for myself. I think about migrating to opencloud, or something lighter like sftpgo to only have file and online file editor, and using a dedicated app for photo backups. Also, the UI is quite heavy on nextcloud, and opencloud's UI seems lighter and faster.
If nextcloud works for you, keep on :)
