I almost can’t believe it, but Google Tasks is finally kind of good (www.theverge.com)

For years, Google's to-do list app Tasks was poorly integrated and underdeveloped. Recently, Google has combined all their reminder products into a single Google Tasks app that is accessible across Google products. While still lacking some advanced features, Google Tasks' simplicity and integration make it easy to add tasks and see reminders across Gmail, Calendar and Assistant. The author enjoys being able to say "What are my tasks today?" to Assistant and have tasks show up in Calendar. However, the author notes that Tasks still does not integrate well with multiple Google accounts.

Some feature which I absolutely need which for some reason is not part of most task apps is to repeat tasks based on the completion date instead of the start date.

Dumb example: If I have a task to water my plants every week and I do it after 4 days already then the next due date is in 10 days instead of the 7 I'd want

'Tasks' (open source android app) can do this. Likely you already knew (others likely don't). But I agree, a surprisingly uncommen feature.
