Hence the only way to correctly rebuild the XFS state on resume is

No, during suspend/resume, memory image is saved, and no state is
lost. We would not even have to do sys_sync(), and suspend/resume
would still work properly.
It seems to me that you ensure the filesystem is synced to disk and
then at some point later you record the memory state of the
filesystem, but these happen at different times. That leaves a
window for things to get out of sync again, right?
I DO NOT HAVE TO ENSURE FILESYSTEM IS SYNCED. That sys_sync() is
optional.
Recording of memory state is atomic, and as long as noone writes to
the disk after atomic snapshot, memory image matches what is on disk.
