What are the disadvantages of delaying the special project, perhaps indefinitely, but still taking the Synthetic Evolution perk for the extra mod point (for worker robots) & other bennies?

Well there isn't really a disadvantage expect the oppurtunity cost of the AP. As it stands you certainly don't want to do the project at the moment as it's bugged and won't let your synths be rulers.
Ouch, that's a nasty bug! And then there's the necessary prep work for transitioning from food + energy pop upkeep to just energy upkeep. Does the special project convert farm district slots to generator district slots?
No it doesn't but you get the "Bioreactor" building.
Also I was able to componsate completely for the transition by setting up a monthly market order.
What are the stats on the Bio-Reactor? I'm guessing it turns food into energy?
The wiki Buildings and Technology pages really need updating :-(
So you gain the ability to build bio-reactors as a non-Machine Intelligence? I guess that does make sense.

The bug can be circumvented by giving robots citizen rights (policy) before finishing the special project. If you do that, everything works.

When I did the special project, my resources went up significantly. A monthly order to trade food easily overcompensated the energy loss.
I drowned in consumer goods. However, as a mechanist empire, I probably greatly profited from the reduced upkeep.
That, and that all pops get the 10% production bonus to everything.
Pop growth with migration treaties and assimilation right is as insane as xeno-compatibility and clone vats:
10/month assembled in sector capitals + 5/month from immigration, more on an ecumenopolis.
Only thing annoying is that pops that are currently assimilated are shown as unemployed.
And choosing your the biological robot model seems to be bugged and planets build whatever they feel like.

Yes, add they pretty much enjoy their Academic Privilege. I never had Synths in servitude, though.Could your synths be Rulers?

Hmm... I think my synths were in servitude before I finished the project, now I don't even have the option to change the policy anymore though :/
Also they don't say they are in servitude but have full citizen rights.

It is a general empire law and disappears when the project is finished. If you finished the ascension project before you changed the law and cannot revert to a previous save, you are more or less screwed. You can still use other species as rulers, though.
