Dropbox support for macOS 12.3
So I'm referring to https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/macos-12-monterey-support
Does this mean it will be 100% safe to upgrade to macOS 12.3 as long as I keep Smart sync to Loc...
You can never ever say its 100% safe - simply because you'd be using a Beta OS and also a Beta version of Dropbox. However, it should work well, but, be cautious of the fact it is beta at all levels.
I know previously at last minute notice Apple have changed how stuff worked in beta versions meaning stuff which used to work no longer did when updated to the next release so thats also something to be aware of.
And now, over a year later, this sounds like the issue currently present on Mac Dropbox with using "online" files, because it uses kernel extensions that Apple have stopped supporting in latest versions of OSX.

I'd like to extend this request to discontinue using deprecated kernel extensions and instead base the new version on Apple’s new File Provider framework for MacOS:

Microsoft recently announced a similar move for OneDrive:

I will say this... I will be purchasing a new Macbook in 1st-quarter 2022. As a loyal Dropbox user for 10 years, this is the first time I'm considering jettisoning Dropbox if they don't provide native support for Apple Silicon.
Get your app updated and away from kernel extensions. Considering the size of your company, I find it disturbing that so little resources are allocated to keeping your software current. This is the kind of thinking usually applied to failing companies.
afsd dropbox is a morally bankrupt company and its CEO has shown again and again that they don't care about Mac users - the very ones that propelled the service to stardom.
