I'd disagree. Cross-device synchronization of passkeys is crucial. Otherwise one would have to create a passkey for each device running Thunderbird, and store it locally. That could be e.g. desktop computer, laptop, mobile phone, etc. It would get confusing pretty quickly, with no way to backup all those passkeys needed.
There is no need for implementing cross-device synchronization in Thunderbird though, meaning that Thunderbird itself would not have to handle the sync. All that's needed for Thunderbird is to inter-work with a password manager which can store passkeys, e.g. Bitwarden.
Firefox already does this, and it just works fine. So Thunderbird could possibly use what Firefox already offers today.
