The issue you are facing:
Nextcloud client isn’t syncing. Been sitting alternating between “reconciling changes…” and “waiting” for over 5 hours. Encryption is not enabled on this server.

Is there anything that can be done here?..

The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:
Empty.
The output of your config.php file in /path/to/nextcloud (make sure you remove any identifiable information!):
Well… the issue isn’t resolved but a work around has been found… Using virtual files with large directories appears to cause the syncing to completely hang. As soon as I disabled virtual files and synced everything locally, it works.
That being said, not exactly an ideal solution here but it works.
Why do virtual files not work with large directories?
