rclone has no connection to Synology. They are NAS appliance and any 3rd party software not officially supported by them can be removed/broken after update of DSM. You should ask on Synology forums how to fix it. rclone by itself does not prevent to be run on any system.

Maybe try the simplest way and reinstall it...

yeah, that is a known problem, and here was my workaround

based on that error, looks like rclone is installed.

this might be the issue. hard to know for sure, so next time run your commands with -vv for debug output, ok?
or maybe an issue with --daemon timeout

remove --daemon, run the command again, post full output
or try increasing --daemon-wait

the solution to that issue can be found in the link i shared up above.
https://forum.rclone.org/t/synoloy-nas-does-not-support-fuse3/36944/9

looks like the symlink worked
ln -s /bin/fusermount /bin/fusermount3
