Whoops, so I guess I didn’t understand all I needed to understand with regard to cron. So I needed to either create a cron job using my own user account or, if I was determined to use sudo crontab, then I needed to specify the username to run the task with. This is what I ended up doing so my crontab is:
*/5 * * * * su MyUsername -c "joplin sync"
And now it works fine!
