I can 2nd that SyncThing works well with KeePass. I have it running on Windows, Android, and a few Debian computers (guys, I use Linux) and I've never had an issue. I just checked (and apparently I'm a thug), because I've been using "No File Versioning" for years. You may want to opt for any of the available options to err on the side of caution. As long as you're adamant about syncing any changes ASAP (and not modifying the database on 2 different devices simultaneously), you won't have issues. Even when I have screwed up (by editing the DB on 2 devices), the KeePassDX client on Android has handled it gracefully and allowed me to merge the conflicts. I also always keep regular backups of my database outside of the whole SyncThing monstrosity (just for worst case scenarios). Cheers mate, give a whirl.
I've had a lot of conflicts over the years of doing this but as you say keepass is good at merging. You'd only run into trouble if you change the file in two locations before syncing (file conflict) AND the time was way off on one of them (wrong change applied) AND you have no way of resetting your password.
Okay, finally ran into a conflict that I noticed. Wonder how many passwords I've lost throughout the years. I got back the account that was swallowed but I'd much prefer this didn't happen in the first place. Other than making it a habit to sync (with syncthing) before editing a database it doesn't seem like there's a built-in solution for this. The problem is that keypass always performs a two-way sync (sync two files, modify two files). Guess I'll see how hard it would be to make a one-way sync plugin or if some other variant does one-way.
