I vote in favor of a single context.  Among the few odds I don't 
understand of syncrepl, there's the usefulness of the "attrsonly" 
parameter to searches, the usefulness fo the size/time limits and so. 
In my opinion, if the aim is to have a replica of a database, the 
updates should be performed with essentially unlimited  administrative 
privileges.  I might be missing something, or others may have a much 
higher concern for potential security issues, so I'm not against leaving 
them in place, since they're there.  Simply, I'm not sure I understand 
their actual need.
