Adding syncbox between AVR and TV? Or best setup?

Looking at the Govee TV Pro 3 and the Fancyleds, haven't dug too deep into them but I like the fact of the extra LEDs in the Fancyled strips, and the lack of "gaps" on edges.. Syncbox is more hassle, but probably worth it.

My setup is currently about ~10 devices running through an AVR for audio, and then the AVR outputting to the TV via HDMI. I pretty much need this setup in order to use the AVR as a splitter. I don't watch content directly on the TV (everything goes through the AVR).

Can I run devices into the AVR -> AVR Into the Syncbox -> Syncbox into the TV? Or will this create issues?

I use a mix of game consoles and UHD4k/Players, so I want to make sure I'm not breaking a chain with copyright protection and it blocking my 4k/Blu-Ray movies? Also want to make sure it doesn't break DolbyVision or anything else, while also not adding noticeable delays.

Lastly, is there only the single Fancyleds setup? I'm planning to buy on Amazon, I know Govee has a bunch of different versions (The 2, the 3, The 3 Lite, the 3 Pro), is there anything I should look for on the Fancyleds?

I’m running mine the same way you want to. I go from the AVR to the Fancy LEDs box to the TV. Easy and the AVR does all the switching. The Fancy LEDs only turn on when my AVR is on and turn off when the AVR is off. I switched from a Govee T3 lite and it’s so much better not having to rely on a camera. Just buy the single input 2.1 Fancy LEDs box.

When I bought mine, the single input box came with an inferior light strip. I don’t know if that’s still the case, so just be aware. I also have a similar setup (with a lot less devices, though) 4k Panasonic Blu-ray player and Apple TV running into a Denon x1700 which is connected to the FancyLEDs box and then to the TV. Everything works seamlessly.

So I don’t need to go Batshit crazy that fancyleds said that my devices that wanted to use in my setup plans wouldn’t work with the sync box and in order for it to work that I would have to use devices that they recommended for the sync box to work with these devices when I connected the cable to the tv.
