All I'm saying is that *after* you've configured that everything must
be synchronous is *not* the time to start trying to figure out if your
PITR backups/archive are working, and starting to try and get a slave
replicating synchronously.

Yes, High-Durability sync rep has caveats.  One of them is that you
must have a working synchronous slave before you can enforce
synchronousity.
