Synthings goes through community hosted intermediate servers, called relay servers, so it's not direct. https://relays.syncthing.net/
If both source and destination is behind NAT, you can't transfer directly without opening ports unfortunately.
I would just use a VM in the cloud (running something like ubuntu with desktop) and open ssh. Transfer all files over ssh (sftp) and then run a remote desktop session over ssh to upload the files from the cloud to wherever the files it needs to go.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
The normal situation between two residential computers is that a direct connection is never possible because they're both behind NAT or CGNAT.
A direct connection is only possible if you're willing and able to do port forward on either side.

If you're already using NextCloud anywhere...
That goes through a tertiary server and is super slow. We have that and are specifically wanting to avoid all of that extra overhead.

magic wormhole
This is what I'm looking for I think.

I have the advantage that I need no particular security on the file being moved. It's being moved for the purpose of publication, so if someone was to grab it mid-stream... meh. So anything that keeps the endpoints secure, works.

You have no idea what you are saying.
Syncthing has relay enabled by default, yes, but it does not route traffic through it by default.
When you launch syncthing it uses their public STUN server to resolve your local info.
[PGGH6] 2023/03/13 20:20:39 INFO: quic://0.0.0.0:22000 resolved external address quic://209.XXX.XXX.XXX:22000 (via stun.syncthing.net:3478)Then when you try to connect from a remote, it uses that connection first. It only relays if that listener has closed.
