REST as the author finds out is not for state synchronisation. CRDTs are also not about state synchronisation, only so in an eventual sense, so similar to REST, you can make it work, but you are twisting the approach with assumptions and sticky tape. State synchronisation is a “solved” problem, in the form of distributed data stores, or in some more relaxed sense, database replication, CDC etc. Not an expert, so this is just an opinion even if it sounds assertive.
