How do I automount sshfs? (sh.itjust.works)

I have SSHFS on my server and would like to have it automatically mounted and store all of the documents, desktop, downloads, etc. on a couple computers. I am able to get it to all work except for mounting on startup. The server is Debian 12 and both clients are Tumbleweed. Nothing in fstab seems to work. When I add x-systemd.automount, well, at best programs that try to use it crash and at worst I have to go through recovery mode to get the system to boot properly. I am using ed25519 keys with no passwords for authentication. Does anyone know how I could get this to work?

I'm on OpenRC, so I can't say anything about systemd, but I have several SSHFS mounts (non-auto) listed in my fstab:

sshfs#root@192.168.0.123:/random-folder/ /mnt/random-folder fuse noauto,uid=1000,gid=100,allow_other 0 0

Is that similar to what you've tried in your fstab? I'd assume replacing noauto with auto should just work, but then again, I haven't tried it (and rebooting my system right now would be very inconvenient, sorry).

It also might require you to either use password-based login and specify the password or store the SSH keys in the .ssh directory of the user doing the mount (should be root with auto set).

I already have SSH keys set up but auto doesn't work. I think fstab mounts things before network is up.
