The description of this feature says "Synthetic backups are automatically
created from a traditional (non-synthesized) full backup and any number
of incrementals.."

If a synthetic full requires a "traditional" full as a starting point,
then you can never achieve the goal of avoiding multiple backups of non-
changing data.  The only way to do that is to allow a synthetic full to
be based off of another synthetic full.  Is this possible?
