I know I'm not directly answering your question but I switched from Catfriend's last build to BasicSync. Sure, it doesn't have the same bells and whistles as Syncthing Fork but importing worked fine and it's been rock solid since. If you've ever used the Syncthing web UI on desktop you'll be fine. Plus the developer is well known in the Android development circle.
Thanks for the recommendation. I see that the developer of BasicSync has also createed pull requests in researchxxl's repository which I guess would not happen if there was a general distrust among those who are close to the development.
Maybe it's the endpoint Syncthing uses for NAT traversal or fetching the relay list. Other than that I'm not sure but you could ask the developer, they respond to questions quickly.
I recently switched to BasicSync as well. I had Syncthing-Fork from the F-Droid. Then I switched to the Play Store version. For whatever reason, it wouldn't keep connection to my server. BasicSync is always able to reconnect and I was easily able to reuse my previous Syncthing-Fork config.
