I have this scanner and agree it works great, although there may be cheaper options out there that also work well.
FTP worked well out of the box. For SFTP on Arch Linux, I had to follow the troubleshooting instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Very_Secure_FTP_Daemon#LIST_command_resets_connection.

Photos with my phone it is! Most documents I receive nowadays are digital anyway.
You are right, it's not cheap. I delayed buying one for literally years but once I did, it was a game changer.
I'm in the same boat, but didn't jump so yet. I've been following paperless for a while now but every time I look at scanners I'm blown away by their prices...
If you have an Android phone I can't recommend Genius Scan enough. Fast, accurate, lots of features. I use it with syncthing by exporting the files to a folder that's configured to sync the paperless input folder.
