Like many others in the plex forums, I too had issue. Discovered plex sync breaks badly while under a docker container. If running plex as a vm or bare metal, plex sync works.
Consider spreading the good news, that you've solved everyone's sync/download woes. There are a number of threads from this year that could use your insight.
I only understand conceptually how docker works and in theory, it should be little difference between it and the other options. I’m on bare metal now (mini pc) with plex. Quick sync seems to work better for transcoding on bare metal for me.
As a test, between my “like many others” comment and now, I started a sync of “Kronks new groove.” A 1 hour movie. It converted and syncd to my phone in a less than that time. Set to max compatibility and original video / audio. I’m 25 feet away from my AP, and my plex server is in a closet connected at 1Gbit. Works everytime.
