That's how i do it:

i use an epson gt-15000 under linux with VueScan (commercial but good software), OSS-DocumentScanner and Material Files on Android.

My paperlessNGX is running in a LXC on a little miniPC proxmox system. 
The paperlessNGX consume folder is also a SMB share, so i can save files from the android phone via Material Files or from the Linux PC with the Epson scanner via /mnt/paperless to it.

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=youruser,vers=3.0 //server/share /mnt/paperless

i guess the recommended scanners can connect directly via FTP/NFS/SMB/SMTP, but i am ok with storing the scanned PDFs to my /mnt/paperless that is mounted to the SMB share. PaperlessNGX picks the files up and processes them from there. 

and if i am not at home, i connect to my home LAN with my android phone via VPN (my home internet router has that build in). That way i can also access the paperless SMB share when i am not home and put scans in there.

PS: to have my folder connected to the smb share automatically when i start the linux PC, i added this to my /etc/fstab (yes, it is a passwordless guest share)

//LAN-IP-HERE/paperless-consume /mnt/paperless cifs guest,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,noperm,x-sy stemd.automount,noauto 0 0
