Aaron St. John both the Guide and tooltip for Remote Path should not mention the 255 limit. Here is Waqar Ahmed 's recommendation:
We don’t currently validate length at all for remote path as we can’t tell which OS the remote system is running. However we do expose an option to verify if remote path exists or not so that covers the length use case as well.
For docs, i would say we shouldn’t mention validating remote path length at all but the path itself

I emailed Graham D from https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/10455 asking if he heard back from Synology. He said:
In summary
When using Synology's Hyper Backup app on an encrypted volume to rsync a backup from Synology to FreeNAS it sends long file paths. These long file paths aren't supported in the rsync 3.1.3 running on FreeNAS.
Previous tickets
This issue has been reported twice before without resolution. There is a hint that it got raised to Synology, but we don't know that result.
