Will freesync work with it?
The only downside I have seen is that GSYNC will not work. The newer display supports it, put anyone upgrading an older Framework 16 with the new NVIDIA card will have to buy the screen upgrade as well if they need GSYNC.

Nowadays they’re the same thing. Nvidia uses a different name because they like appropriating things, I guess.

They are not the same thing. GSYNC requires the monitor to be embedded with an NVIDIA controller.

It does not. You’re talking about the original version GSYNC which required a hw module. That’s no longer the case.

That’s not unexpected. Variable refresh rate (GSYNC and Freesync) has always needed the display to support it first.

Yeah, but the old display supports VRR via VESA Adaptive-Sync. Nvidia supports that as well, but not sure if their mobile GPUs don’t for built-in displays?
If it is supported, I don’t see any advantage of having Gsync vs. standard VRR.
If not that’s a shame. Pretty wasteful having to buy the same display with different firmware just to get adaptive sync working.
