You can probably use Syncthing.

Yes, SyncThing with send-only or receive-only. Easy.

Edit: Hm, maybe the symlinks could be a problem. OP wants the actual files behind the links to be synced, not the links itself, correct?

Yes, that's why I said "probably" because I'm also not sure about symlinks.

SyncThing will do it. I keep sync folders across all my devices, and use a write-only folder (requires some advanced config) to backup phone camera photos. It can be configured per device to only use WiFi.
