rclone as a backup location
rclone supports many, many backends. From Google Drive (#167) to SFTP (#173, #171) to Seafile (#84, #169). It has multiple programmatic interfaces available, also encryption, if you're in to that.
Downsides:
- AFAIK, you can't use an account from the device, like you do with Nextcloud at the moment. You have to manually sign in. Pulling credentials might be possible, I haven't developed a ton for Android, so I can't say for sure.
- The manual sign in is a CLI wizard. There are 3rd party open source things providing a GUI, though an in-house one could be created as well (directing the prompts in each step of the CLI to a GUI could work well enough).
Upsides:
- Developer time. Adding a growing list of remotes. Maintainership, development, debugging, research of platform, time spent in issues.
- The same time could go towards other features.
- Allowing a vast range of destinations, that would be otherwise be impossible to maintain.

I tried rcx, but i cannot select it as a target storage in seedvault. I would appreciate rclone support because the nextcloud app seems to keep a local copy of the backup data. Especially in combination with local storage backup this is a huge problem for me.
rclone is unlikely to be supported directly. If somebody ports it to Android, you could backup to local storage and use rclone to back that up.
+1 really useful is an understatement - an essential feature. Please someone help implement it RCX doesn't have automatic backups (?!), the only solution right now are termux scripts (?!!), but that's such a niche technique
