I have spent a long time at Synology Photos, along with my family. We have tags and albums. Is there a good way to migrate? I'm even open to migrating manually (album by album) if I could trust the process.

You can set up immich to use external libraries.
It can ingest your current library without changing anything in the folder structure and it will be alongside it.
Just make sure to check the external library configuration and immichs documentation before doing anything.

Also make sure you have a backup :p That doesnt hurt either way
