Just keep your home directory on a separate partition and then keep it when you distro hop.

The "just" is doing a lot of work here. This stuff really needs to be easier for ordinary users.

Compared to all the gotchas with sync in several directions learning and setting up partitioning is literally super-easy.

OK if that's your experience, but sounds like you may not be an average user. Partitioning is low-level stuff where you're one mistake away from losing everything. Personally I have used many sync solutions but partitioning is something I leave firmly to the OS.
