I haven't used it much if at all in the past year, but I finally took the last step and deleted it! Sorry if this is low effort I just don't have anyone I know to share it with.

I use my self-hosted Nextcloud instance for this. Then sync to mobile using DAVx5. Calendar and contacts.

It is all free to use, but you will likely have some expenses with the self-hosting. If you do it yourself at home, you require hardware and power to run it on, and you would be well off having some additional backup solution off-site as well that would add to the cost. If you host on a VPS (like I do), you have the running costs of renting that server space.
