Sure, if you just want upload / backup it's not worth it. If your currently happy with nextcloud then there is no reason to try immich.

But I highly recommend to sometimes view old photos to keep the memories alive.

I haven't looked into the nextlcoud add-ons, but didn't have a great experience with the ones I tried so far. In general I'm not really happy with nextlcoud even for file sync / share, but I haven't found any replacement, every thing else is much worse.

It does take quite a bit of upkeep, especially if you don't use it frequently. I recently found my instance broke due to a bad addon, and then Authelia also broke because NC decided thier OIDC addon is not supported on the latest v32. I was able to re-enable without issue, but still flagged as unsupported.

Sounds like I'm talking myself into Immich already haha.
