Both an archive and a sync were used to upload them.

Actually, it looks like, for each group of three, one has a thumbnail but no link, one has a link but no thumbnail, and one has both a thumbnail and a link. This holds for at least four of the groups near the top.

What do you mean my "a thumbnail" or "a link"? You could look at the raw JSON response (dev tools) to see how the media objects differ.

In general, a sync will not duplicate a media object unless the handles are different. An import might well lead to duplicates if they are already there.

"Thumbnail" means it shows a picture preview under that asset. "Link" means that it shows an associated, clickable person underneath.

So, the takeaway is just to always sync and never import if the account is non-empty.

Yes, sort of. The import function is still useful to import additional data, e.g. from a GEDCOM somebody has shared with you. Any suggestions to improve the documentation at https://github.com/gramps-project/web to make this clearer are highly welcome.
