I really think this idea is great. Imagine having the strengths of both organic and machine and the weaknesses of neither. I've been setting up a computer network for the past six weeks and have been coming up with all these little changes I want to make on the fly. It dawned on me today how much easier this would be if synthesis were real. I could personally interface with the network and just think it and the network would understand and align itself to my thought patterns. Wow. I wouldn't have had all the trouble getting all these contraptions working, and I wouldn't have had all the licensing issues with the companies because the computers and I could have communicated directly and talked things out rather than having to go through the people who were constantly making mistakes.
And then speaking of the people, we wouldn't have had to worry about the language barriers either since I could communicate digitally with them by thought. So that would eliminate a lot of problems right there.
I really hope Bioware makes Synthesis canon for the next Mass Effect game. It would be a wonder utopia. 
Yes, Synthesis is the best way to expand ME lore. Just imagine the possibilities, and keep in mind reserved Dark Energy Plot 
... And actually there is a way to make Synthesis inevitable without making any ME3 ending canon:

I see it. See this network is in my audio studio, and it's been an absolute nightmare to set up. It has been driving me insane. I finally got the thing working last night. All the components. All the licenses are cooperating.
Now another practical use of synthesis is digital imaging, not in the sense of what we're used to, but in say you're dropped off by your ship. You drop a digital box right there at that point. You're on a mission, and if anything were to happen to you, say death, you wouldn't die, but since everything is now part synthetic and part organic, shouldn't it be possible at some point to have the technology to re-assemble oneself at that point from the digital information? Sort of like respawning instead of getting the "critical mission failure" message? Resurrection! EDI mentioned conquering death itself.
It may be a shock at first and it could take a while for your shields to come back up, so you wouldn't want to place these tactical insertion points too close to your mission.
I don't see why we would be on missions against our own, though, probably would be against outsiders from a neighboring galaxy. We should be able to work out our differences pretty readily and reach consensus.
