The problem is the only way they can start your turn out of synapse is if they were out of synapse during the enemy turn as well, which is when they will take fire and fallback if a morale test is required. Sure, they can fallback into synapse but you just lost extremely valuable distance and will have to weather more fire.

Not necessarily. If you win a combat during the opponent's turn, you can use your consolidation move to bring them out of synapse range, or consolidate a synapse creature away from them.

It's nothing to base a strategy around, but it's a nice trick you can take advantage of from time to time.

Nice catch! As long as you keep in mind the possibility of overwatch triggering morale checks on your own turn it could help out in some scenarios.
