Trash article only describing what a password manager is while only naming "solutions" from Apple, Google & Co... worthless for anybody with at least a little knowledge - even more so for the clueless as it doesn't give any lead on how to actually choose a PWM... basically clickbait.
tl;dr: If you wanna be on the safe side, go with KeePass+Synchting. Storing credentials anywhere but on personally owned metal is a big no-no in my world.
Agreed, but I have shared passwords with family members....family members who aren't tech savvy and aren't necessarily in my immediate vicinity that I can offer tech support to in a timely manner.
I've found Bitwarden to be a workable stop gap while I work in a self hosted Vaultwarden instance (taking a lot longer to spin up with recent career moves - been in the works for almost a year now).
That said, how "high maintenance" do you think it would be to set up a keepass ish setup like you suggest?
Its pretty easy to set up, though I've been using a self hosted btsync for years now instead of syncthing: set up your folder, share with server, and wipe your hands :)
That said, I also have family on mine and have a 1pass family sub, which was the only way I could get people to use non standard passwords

Better check https://www.privacyguides.org/en/passwords for some valid information...

It's like herding cats sometimes.
I've been using KeepassXC + syncthing for years, served me well.
