Are anyone up-to-date on the status of the syncthing-fork on Android, following the drama of catfriend1's sudden disappearance and the less-than-trust-building behavior of researchxxl? Did they rebuild that trust? Was it forked again by someone more trustworthy?

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.

    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.
