It's just like if I go in to a lvl 80 duty with a stance on beforehand, it won't be removed because I'm not being synced down in any way..

Also FATEs count as synced content (there are a few under lvl 10), so if you need to sync to participate in them then any stances are removed again. The exception being BLU because all actions are lvl 1, so they don't lose anything.
