iCloud photo library syncing is a mess, to put it politely. The number of things you can do that accidentally trigger a full re-upload of your entire photo library is a minefield. Don't get me started on photoanalysisd either... Having re-uploads/photoanalysisd run repeatedly on large libraries is not fun.

Increasingly the Google Photos iOS/desktop uploader apps offers a significantly more robust sync experience for me on my Apple devices.
The pricing is fine until you hit the 2TB cap (very easily done if you use Family Sharing especially), at which point you are hosed. Even offering the ability to pay $x per GB over this cap would be a lifeline. Again Google have much better options for this. That the default free amount of storage hasn't changed in years from 5GB for all your devices is arguably pretty mean in 2018.
