Has anyone successfully self-hosted Firefox Sync? (sh.itjust.works)

I use around 10 browser profiles, each of which has its own set of bookmarks, plugins, self-enforced rules, etc. I want to synchronise browsing history, bookmarks, plugins using a single account. They are managed with a dedicated Firefox account, but I was wondering if I can self host accounts so that I can synchronise stuff over my VPN, and I don't have to do mail verification every time I create a new profile. But I can't find much on how online.

I know syncserver-rs but that is not enough. The accounts are still registered with Mozilla's server.

I don't think you can sync all those items anyway. I use Mozilla's sync, and it doesn't sync all my settings or extensions.

Last time I checked, some people were using syncthing to sync the whole profile folder, but I feel like that's just a recipe for profile corruption. I don't know if it works cross-platform either.
