How do I automount sshfs? (sh.itjust.works)

I have SSHFS on my server and would like to have it automatically mounted and store all of the documents, desktop, downloads, etc. on a couple computers. I am able to get it to all work except for mounting on startup. The server is Debian 12 and both clients are Tumbleweed. Nothing in fstab seems to work. When I add x-systemd.automount, well, at best programs that try to use it crash and at worst I have to go through recovery mode to get the system to boot properly. I am using ed25519 keys with no passwords for authentication. Does anyone know how I could get this to work?

Autofs works with sshfs. I use it for mounting anything over a network. It automounts on demand and disconnects a mount after a period of inactivity.

Plus one for autofs, works so well that I often forget that certain files are actually remote resources
