Your first link lists a lot of tickets than actual performance issues.

Searching on an issue tracker for the word 'performance' is not a good source for claiming there are performance issues.

Synapse used to have scaling issues. Those are pretty much fixed.[1]

Speaking as a Matrix user: it definitely still has performance issues. I'm regularly running into sudden lag spikes that have no clear justifiable reason to exist.

More details about my specific case are found here: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8612 - and occasionally other performance issues pop up for other people too.

I'm sure this will eventually be fixed, and honestly the performance is probably good enough for most people, but Synapse is definitely not as performant yet as a homeserver should be.
