I currently use Nextcloud and Immich, Nextcloud on iOS is garbage though, it can't auto upload files if they are too big, even with the application open.

Immich is great, but is under very active development, so it could break any time. I take backups of the images and store it in my array, and external HDD and Google Drive (encrypted, nothing I upload to G drive is unencrypted). Immich is stores content in a complicated directory structure that goes 3-4 folders deep, I'm hoping to find something that just uploads all my photos and videos to a single folder or two.

iCloud only gives me 5GB, and it's almost full, and I dont want to pay for G Drive and iCloud+.

Is there another solution I can use to just store photos on my server, that will auto upload from iOS without issue?

This is the way. PhotoPrism on my server and PhotoSync (Premium because I want to keep the original image quality and automated backups) on my Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, etc). Works like a charm. First backups took a while (30k pictures and videos between two phones), around 24 hours or so but after that any new pictures or videos are automatically backed up.
