> Synapse is the only choice that supports bridges

This is not true, at least today. Continuwuity, which is an alternative server implementation, and its predecessors support bridges very well.

I set up Whatsapp and Telegram bridges with Tuwunel today. The config file for mautrix-whatsapp indicates Dendrite should work as well so it seems just about every server implementation supports bridges?

Former Dendrite user: Yes and no. Mautrix stuff does work with Dendrite, technically, but only partially. For Mautrix-Discord, I was able to get DMs mostly working, but only DMs: bridging servers just never really worked at all. I'm honestly not 100% sure why this is the case, but it's not worth worrying about Dendrite anymore. It is a dead-end server that never worked very well. Up until shortly before it was discontinued, none of the Mautrix bridges worked well enough to actually use.
