Details
The current Firefox Sync system will sync an add-on's storage data across all devices. However, it might be useful to allow users to blacklist add-ons from this feature.
A use case example for this ability could be a website blocker. Maybe the user wants to have specific data for one device and then a standard list of the rest of their devices.
There are some other use-cases as well. Perhaps this would be an interesting feature to explore adding in future versions of Firefox.

I guess a per-addon setting in about:addons could work, and while I really can't see this becoming a priority, it's probably more an addons-team thing than a sync-team thing...

This looks more like a feature request to specific extension to provide an option to enable/disable sync. Our sync storage has the exact same API as local storage, so the change should be easy for extension authors.
We don't expect users to selectively whitelist/blacklist domains for syncing (for passwords or bookmarks), and the same goes for extensions.
