Some food for thought:
When I was looking to get my photos under control, in the end I decided to go all-in with Apple Photos. As I’m also using a Mac, the convenience can’t be beaten. Also, I can easily pull up any photo using Apple’s smart filters and can easily select photos from within apps without having to “share” them to the photos library first.
But this was only decided after I found out that Apple Photos keeps all photos in separate files in original quality and all metadata in a local SQLite database. Using the osxphotos tool, you can query this database and easily pull out any photo incl. metadata - even when running on other OSes, no need for Apple Photos. This also makes it easy to move everything to another system, if needed.
I’ve set my Mac to always keep original copies on disk and run a backup to my NAS every night. (Using CCC at the moment, but looking to switch to restic.) This way, all my photos are always off-site in iCloud, on my Mac and on my NAS.
You’d just need a tool to upload your Android photos to iCloud. From a quick search it seems Sync for iCloud might do the trick - albeit manually … if I read the reviews correctly.

Are there any thoughts of implementing 24/7 GPS tracking support (e.g. being fed by OwnTracks) alongside the activities?
After trying several tools I now ended up with Traccar, but as that’s based on Java and more suited for fleet tracking, it’s not quite ideal.
