I'm using Vaultgarden. Things are okay after losing my SSD yesterday morning. My strategy worked... HDD for data, SSD for the OS. I promptly found an available drive, installed Linux mint and recovered.

But that was scary. I keep a backup on another computer. The only way to actually run it and see the passwords needed to do anything was thru my phone. I was lucky that somehow the database was available offline. But if I had run out of battery I would be extremely screwed.

So I've decided the Vaultgarden is encumbered by not really having a local reliable copy. Maybe I'm wrong, but as I understand, if your server goes down and you log out, you're screwed... No more passwords until your server is up again. I find that to be extremely stupid unless I was protecting my severed testicles... No wait, that would be way worse.

So I'd there a server + local system? Like Joplin... You can write notes all day with no server at all. The server just Synchronizes it all. In the past I used syncthing and I will continue using it. One thought was to have an automated backup from Vaultgarden that was automatically synced to my various devices as a Keypass database.

I use KeePassXC + Strongbox (iOS) and sync it with Syncthing. I have a server always running so if I save a change on my computer, it will always be synced to the server. I use an iPhone 13 so I have to use möbius sync and it is not perfect, I have to manually open the app to make sure it syncs (something iOS background usage something). I also have an old Android phone that also syncs my kbdx file. You could have a RPI Zero (or any other kind computer) as a cheep backup solution just for Syncthing.
