How to make Dropbox <> SFTP Backup reliable?

The rclone backup job seems to run smoothly now since the last weeks. The parameters --tpslimit 10 and --low-level-retries 10 seem to be perfect for dropbox.

Great!

I understand the hashes were different between SFTP server and dropbox. So can I be sure the transfer was successful due to 0 differences found message?

You can be sure that all the files are present and they have their correct sizes. Unfortunately because the two don't have a compatible hash you can't know anything about the contents of the files.
