But I digress...)
Also, after the normal warranty period, my 5th gear, and then my third gear synchros went bad. Repairs for both of those, which were done at separate times, would have cost me about $4000 total, parts and labor.

I think that in your particular situation, it is worth to get it. S/C the car, and probably racing it? Of course there is a big potential for problems (I deduct you race it either on track or street because of the synchros going bad, and of course you don't ad a S/C to a car not to use it right).
I assume you got the TRD S/C, so it is even more worth it because the whole system is covered under warranty.
But, to the average Joe who won't be adding a S/C or FI covered under warranty, IMHO its not worth it.
