Dropbox support for macOS 12.3
So I'm referring to https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/macos-12-monterey-support
Does this mean it will be 100% safe to upgrade to macOS 12.3 as long as I keep Smart sync to Loc...

You can never ever say its 100% safe - simply because you'd be using a Beta OS and also a Beta version of Dropbox. However, it should work well, but, be cautious of the fact it is beta at all levels.
I know previously at last minute notice Apple have changed how stuff worked in beta versions meaning stuff which used to work no longer did when updated to the next release so thats also something to be aware of.

It really feels like Dropbox is underinvesting in the MacOS platform: not keeping up with MacOS-level security changes, being super late in migrating to Apple Silicon, leaving unresolved long-time issues like slow sync when restoring a Dropbox, etc.
In the mean time, Dropbox seems to be obsessed on upselling me new products that I did not ask for and do not need, such as e-signatures, etc.
If there was a simple way to migrate to another file syncing app, I would do it for our entire office. But it also seems that Google Drive has problems and Microsoft One Drive is… well… Microsoft.

OneDrive on Mac has always been a steaming pile but I've not had any issues with Google Drive at all, even with the update that uses the same file provider API that dropbox seems to be having such a problem with.
