Another Ntsync x Fsync comparison by me, enjoy.

It's main benefit is compatibility. As you said fsync is a hack and can cause issues with some games and applications.

The other benefit is more about packaging and the like, in that you won't have to deal with third party patches. Not an issue if you're using Proton but can be if you're using vanilla Wine.
