This is not necessarily true. It may be the case that each registrar would have a single DSYNC configuration for all its domains under management, in which case it is information that can be collected once at onboarding (or when the registry begins supporting DSYNC).

You would only need an EPP extension in the scenario where different domains under the sponsorship of the same registrar would need different DSYNC information.

It would be worth validating this assumption before going to the effort of developing an extension.
