You still should backup your NAS to the cloud per the 3-2-1 backups strategy (3 copies of data, 2 types of storage, 1 offsite copy). Synology has an app that can do that for you. If you're stashing away a lot of data on your NAS the cloud storage fees won't be too much cheaper than BackBlaze.

If backing up my synology to Backblaze what's the best practice to ensure full end to end encryption. I do not want backblaze to have any way to see my files (I'd probably be ok with filenames however)...

You can save a lot of money if you buy a couple extra harddrives, make a copy and store it with your friends/family. As a bonus, less likely to get the NSA involved.

this was my thought instead of cloud backup

I don't care so much to lose the most recent few months. Can store some extra drives at a family members house and swap them out whenever I go to visit.
