Would self-hosting (as @charlesroper@indieweb.social explained here) be a more comfortable option for you?
Yes.
However, I'm perfectly happy with KeePassXC. It's audited, secure, has a great UI, and if you want to accept less security can serve as a secret-service and ssh-agent replacement. There are a bunch of OSS tools and clients that support the kbx.v4 file format, and if you want to audit the code of the tools, they're in almost every language. There are some really nice (pretty, user friendly) native mobile apps.
There's risk in grabbing any old client, of course, but having such a diverse ecosystem is nice, especially if you don't mind reading some code.
