Is there any real privacy concern from using Mozilla's sync server?
The data is encrypted and can't even be recovered unless you create a recovery key. Some people don't want their browser phoning home and others just don't want to store their data on someone else's server.
No, it's fully end-to-end encrypted.
It is possible (but tricky) to self host the FF sync server
