Just switched to Fedora KDE last week. What is the best option to install FreeFileSync on Fedora KDE?

Is that an official flatpak? The site says "unverified".

No, but it uses the official binaries, check the manifest yourself:

# We don't compile FFS sources, because they are often broken and depend on modified system
# libraries. Instead, we use pre-compiled binaries. However, the binary licence disallows
# changes to the archive during distribution, and so we need to download the binary and
# process it on the client during installation. For more information, see:
