We might need a task for clearing a user's reading list if they opt out or never opt in.

If you have a list and opt out, we should have warn the user that all reading lists will be deleted on the server.

RHo created subtask T167311: Clear reading lists from the server if an existing reading list user opts out of reading list sync.Jun 7 2017, 3:35 PM

This task does not include the work of clearing out the lists on the server, nor does this include the onboarding.

What about revising the verbiage to:

preference title: "Back up reading lists" and
preference summary: "Allow Wikimedia to back up your reading lists when you log in"

Rationale: the cloud storage location is an implementation detail and will not be of interest to any but the most technical users, who should be able to find it on our FAQ (T165049).

Or, better:

preference title: "Sync reading lists" and
preference summary: "Allow Wikimedia to sync your reading lists when you log in"

Since we're dealing with cross-device syncing here and backups are separately handled by the OS.

+1 for the latter
