Its a baseline problem within the system. While the system itself is extremely complex in HQ situations, due to mechanics in the synthesis minigame its much easier to do the standard spam for max sp.

the problem is the lack of reward for alternate actions and the extreme punishments associates to these actions in synthesis 5 or more synths above your rank (which are the prime sp region).

there is no choice in leveling synths, however, when youn reach the synth level, those options start opening up and it makes the synthesis more complex.

Imo its a tradeoff well spent because 50 is where the real game of crafting begins.
