This is pretty cool! Although…I’m not creative enough to think of real world use cases for this? Care to share some ideas?

Lots of them, check out the first post on how folks have been using this.
One example, think of a corridor with two doors. You can sync both doors to open simultaneously when one is unlocked
or
to prevent piggy backing, when one door unlocks, the other locks.
Another example, one user wanted to unlock the patio door when the backyard gate is unlocked. So when the guest entered through the backdoor gate (using the keypad), it also unlocked the patio door.
Another use case from the AirBnB RLA topic, one user has multiple rooms each with their own lock/keypad. There is a master lock at the main entrance. When the user unlocks their room with the keypad, it also unlocks the master lock at the main entrance. This is a case of a one way synchronization primary (keypad) to secondary (master lock). This way when the master lock is operated it doesn’t open the individual rooms (e.g. building cleaner), but when a renter enters their code on the room keypad it unlocks the main entrance for them to enter.
You can get creative, you can sync locks with lights also. When the main door is unlocked, the light is turned on.
Is there a way to have this only work with “keypad lock” events?
I don’t want unlocks synchronized.
I see there is a “Mode” to qualify in the app, but this only lists three (Home, Away, Night) and I don’t see how to add new ones or where these were defined.
Hi there, the modes are provided by the SmartThings hub based on what’s defined for your hub. We’ve added the ability to select only lock/unlock for synchronization.
Lock And Door Synchronizer - v01.01.00
Added option to select lock/unlock/both options for synchronizing primary lock
Fixed an issue with the synchronization mode settings not being unique when selecting multiple primary locks and multiple secondary devices
Please note after this update you should open your app and re-check your synchronization settings
