Description

After the recent Holesky issue it was discussed that CL clients want to support the ability to disable optimistic sync altogether as a feature flag. I need to go through our current implementation of syncing because AFAIK it's just using Optimistic sync but this could become an umbrella issue to follow other related ones.

Research direction

Start by tracing the current syncing implementation and identifying where optimistic sync is assumed. Review the Holesky-related context and existing related issues, then define the scope of the umbrella issue. Done means the required feature-flag behavior and follow-up work are clearly specified.
