It's got better - at one point you couldn't even get a list of calendars.

I watch the github buteo_sync pages hoping that one day there's a bug fixed for "Apple's CalDAV" or similar but there's never that much activity. It doesn't seem to be high priority even though it was IIRC top three on TJC before they declared it "implemented". I don't know which CalDAV implementation it supposedly works on but it's not OwnCloud, SabreDAV or iCloud.
Are you sure it's Jolla's CalDAV that's broken, and not something unusual about the way apple's CalDAV is implemeted?

I use ownCloud 8.1, haven't noticed any problems. It syncs fine with events created in the web interface, and both ways with AOSP calendar synced with DAVdroid, and both ways with requests created on the Jolla.

Also, sometimes more tinkering is required to get CalDAV/CardDAV/WebDAV working if you run ModSecurity on your server (or your host does...). I noticed that between all the different implementations of the various DAVs, I had to enable PROPFIND, REPORT, PUT and MKCOL in addition to the request methods allowed by default in the CRS.
