Steam cloud can mess up for many reasons like improper shutdown of game/computer.

Steam cloud sync seems to happen when game starts and closes. So it slows down opening games a bit but I have had no issues with corrupted saves or lost progress.

Some people have lost progress issues ... and who know what monkey wrench modding could throw in.... but if your game seems fine, like mine, I would just leave it on.

Game also has multiple saves backed up so you can go back one if it ever does mess up.
But again that is something I have not had to do.

If you play with a lot of mods and your game crashes regularly then I would avoid cloud.

And how long have you been using Steam sync cloud ?
I've noticed its function, 2-3 months. Was it there longer ?

Years.
Pretty sure Killing Floor is cloud sync only... without steam you start level 0

So basically 7000hrs combined from Killing Floor
Some stupid amount of hours in PD2
4000+ hrs in Kerbal Space Program
1700hrs in this game
