Firefox sync times out on IOS

On IOS, for the last few days, the syncing of my profile has been failing, because of a timeout.

I have gone so far as to delete my many year-old Firefox Sync profile and rebuild it from scratch, reconnecting various machines. I have also carefully examined said profile, bookmarks, etc. I am unsure of what the timeout issue is, and whether it can be addressed, or of whether my particular use-case is no longer suitable (over the last few days) from Firefox Sync, which is one key reason I've been using Firefox more or less since inception.

Any advice, or is there a bug in the Sync back or front-end?

The relevant log lines are, I think:
