A single-user
CloudKit does seem to be Apple’s answer going forward (which makes me suspect
Core Data sync will not improve) but CloudKit requires internet access for the
app to work at all which I don’t want to require.

Unfortunately on the OS X side with iCloud, Core Data, and documents it is
pretty much a pick any two situation. The iOS side can be done but there are
some gotchas not really covered in the documentation. I've actually just
started work on my own custom subclasses of UIManagedDocument and
