Hi, from my POV, SyncML also requires a "home service" to sync with. Yes, setting up CalDAV/CardDAV requires some knowledge. I use DAViCal. It requires setting up a PostgreSQL database, adjusting the configuration for DAViCal and setting up user accounts using the DACiCal web frontend. However, it's not that hard at all, and could be streamlined with some effort. At the end, you get features like shared calendars, auto-discovery of all addressbooks/calendars assigned to the users (via bindings), cheap background sync over HTTPS without manual interaction and compatibility with current smartphone operating systems. It's also a lot easier to keep multiple devices (more than two) in sync. iOS comes with CalDAV/CardDAV support OOTB. On Android, third party apps are required, as Google internally uses some sort of CalDAV/CardDAV but does not expose it to use it with your own server AFAICS.
