@lokalhorst As I mentioned in the post, this method can be used to back up to many different providers (incl. hetzner, see https://rclone.org/docs/). I assume w/ restic you're just backing up the folder where paperless stores the docs rather than the export. IMO the latter is nice because leaves you w/ something that's more useful w/o paperless.
@MalReynolds Rclone can encrypt, but I also like to have another avenue to access my documents in case for some reason I can't accessy homelab.
@darntootin I don't see how Proton is all that more trustworthy, but encryption is a good idea, and my method works fine for both since rclone already supports proton (https://rclone.org/protondrive/) and encrypting your data pre-copy (https://rclone.org/crypt/)
