Without mirroring, there's nothing for syncvg to sync, so it's pointless.

That's one of the advantages of LVM - an LV can span as many PVs as need be, but it does make it a bit trickier if you want to start mirroring after that.
So you might want to migratepv some stuff so that the LV's partitions are contained in fewer PVs.
Also, some planning ahead of LV/FS size may prevent the scattering of an LV's partitions...
On the other hand, for large LVs, it may be desirable to use as many PVs as possible (LV-striping) in order to use as many disk spindles as possible - even out the IO-load on as many disks as possible.
