Microsoft Edge Dev Sync Issues on Linux/Debian/Ubuntu
First, I think that it would be helpful if you (1) let us know the Dev version you are using, and (2) explain the nature of the issues you are encountering with sync. That might help us to replicate/test the issues you are encountering.
Second, if you can, it might be helpful to submit Feedback to Microsoft so that Microsoft's technical staff can evaluate the issue.
I do not sync extensively (syncing favorites, passwords, settings, personal information, and extensions, but not history, open tabs or collections), but I've not encountered syncing issues involving my two Linux computers, which are synced with two Windows computers, an iPhone 2020SE and an Android tablet**. I don't know if that is typical or not at this point.

**I am running Version 91.0.845.2 on a Solus Budgie laptop and desktop, Version 89.0.774.68 on a Windows 10 laptop and desktop, Version 45.12.4.5137 on a Lenovo Android tablet, and Version 46.2.0 on an iPhone.

I am on Edge Version 91.0.845.2 (Official build) dev (64-bit). See the attached screenshot...

jpparametrics91.0.845.2 is the current Dev version, and I can see that you are signed into your MSA, so sync should be working by default (that is, without the flag, which was required by an earlier version). It clearly isn't.
At this point, my only suggestion is that you submit Feedback or contact https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/support I've had good luck with the latter on several occasions when I encountered something not working for me that seemed to be working for others.
I suppose that you could try brute force, uninstalling Edge from your Ubuntu build and then reinstalling. That might help if something in your current Edge setup is blocking.

Appreciate y'alls assistance...
