E-synching does not obviate the correct ether theory. In fact, it supports
it.

There is no adjustment of clocks in this procedure. This is just an
assumption that the speed of light is isotropic so that he can claim that
TWLS is c.

The correct ether theory would posit isotropy of the speed of light.

Slow clock transport of two touching and synchronized clocks in the opposite
directions--then come to rest wrt to each other--will result a pair of
spatially separated and synchronized clcoks.

This is true NOT because the speed of light is source dependent. It is true
because the speed of light is independent of the motion of the source.
Einstein said that in his second postulate.

Yes. That's why he said that the speed of light is a universal constant as
follows:
Light path/time interval
The time interval in this definition represents a specific interval of
absolute time. What this mean is that for whatever light path length there
is an interval of absolute time that will give the measure speed of light
equal to a constant math ratio c.

RoS is contradicted by his assumption of the isotropy of the speed of light
in all inertial frames..
