Yes, it 'just works'! :-)

My laptop spends most of its time around the house and turned on but
then, when we go away, it gets turned off in the car/'bike whatever and
then turned on again at the far end and links to the local WiFi.
Syncthing copes with this perfectly OK, obviously it takes a little
longer to synchronise when away from home, but that's all.

I also synchronise files to other systems, a couple of headless boxes
on the LAN at home and a virtual machine in France.  For example I
have a wiki synchronised between desktop, laptop and virtual machine.
I can change files on the laptop and then the desktop and virtual machine
wikis get changed as well a few seconds later. (It's a personal wiki
so only I change files, can't expect this to work with multiple users!)
