There are tools like gocryptfs or cryfs that solve that problem to a degree. cryfs even makes the directory structure and file names opaque with chunking the encrypted data in small blocks but this turns quickly into a benchmark of your sync software (i.e. don't use it with Nextcloud, the client can't cope well and fast with lot's of small files at least for the initial sync). Not sure if syncthing is better.

Didn't came around to testing gocryptfs, but if you don't need the chunking it looks like the better alternative.
