After seeing how big-name, loudly-advertised apps like Nextcloud News and Nextcloud Social were abandoned and became unusable due to bugs as Nextcloud versions changed interfaces, it's ludicrous to try to advertise Nextcloud on the basis of its app ecosystem.
Bring the old, highly-touted apps back into current maintenance, and then you can talk. Until then, your users are right to be terrified to build reliance on any apps other than basic file-sharing.

But support for the RPi5 has started to trickle into the Linux kernel! I'm hopeful I will be able to run a real distribution on it soon.

The problem is that the Raspberry Pi 5 features a lot of new hardware that is not yet supported by the mainline Linux kernel. Consequently, drivers for the new hardware are not well-maintained, and there are no serious server distributions that support Raspberry Pi 5 yet.
I have a RPi5 sitting in a box, waiting for mainline kernel support, but don't want to risk my Nextcloud users' data to hobbyist/educational-only experimental operating systems.

In which fields did you record class and section?
I think it's ludicrous that they allow you to choose "ARRL field day" as the name of a contest, but not provide class and section text-entry boxes that automatically clear for each new contact.
That's almost as silly as not saving the log entry when the logger presses "enter," but requiring a mouse-click on the "Save QSO" button.

For these and other user-interface flaws, #Cloudlog seems to be going downhill fast, and my FD team is actively seeking a better alternative, and will probably simply write our own for next year.

@npub1fem…87p4
It used to be useable completely off-grid, but in the past year or two they've made it more reliant on javascript libraries pulled in from elsewhere even to do basic stuff like open a drop-down menu. So #Cloudlog is now, sadly, reliant on an internet connection.
For this reason and others, my FD team will no longer be using it and will probably be developing an alternative for next field day.
