Easiest solution I found is sticking with the Sodastream system, but refilling the CO2 tanks myself.
For that I’m using this simple adapter [0].
NB, newer Sodastream tanks have a booby trap valve, but I had no problem sourcing older ones. Spare Sodastream “60 Liter” tanks can be had at BestBuy for $30.
Refilling of my large 20lb CO2 tank with dip tube [1] (also called siphon) is done at a Bay Area fountain supply store [2] for ~$30. This store also carries commercial syrup for all kinds of soft drinks (Coke Zero, Apple Juice, Ice tea, etc.).
For a more continous supply of carbonated water, I’ve thought about a small “Korny” keg system with a special adapter [3]. But that would require fridge space and running CO2 and water lines. A Kegerator for the garage may be the better solution.
