Once fully uninstalled everything goes back to normal. Missing plenty of inking features, no favourites sync with IE. Is much slower than the classic Edge. No privacy options/app permissions in Windows Settings. On LTE devices keeps loosing Internet while travelling, where the classic Edge is fine. Overall experience very negative, too many issues. Is it ever going to be as good as the classic Edge?
There won't be syncing between IE and new Edge.
the only sync that is going to happen will be between Edge insider channels (stable, beta, dev, canary) on all devices they are installed on (PC, laptop, mobile, Mac, soon Linux too probably), but no legacy syncing.
It's not good, I find the option to sync favourites between classic Edge and IE is important in business environment, especially using roaming profiles. The should be an option to sync and edit favourites between browsers on a local basis (device, LAN, Bluetooth, WiFi, etc), without resourcing to cloud.
- The idea is to move businesses, enterprises and literally everyone from the old IE to the new Edge experience without breaking any websites. for more compatibility, more security and lots of other advantages.

Edge insider allows you to import favorites from Internet explorer, also lets you run sites using IE engine inside Edge insider's browser UI.
of course you can configure all of these options for a smooth transition using group policy and MDM solutions.
you can either use personal or work accounts to have the cloud back up your date for safe keeping but that is not forced, can be turned off.
is there any technical reasons that is preventing you from using cloud?I/We have no problems with ANY internal or external websites using classic Edge anymore.
There should be a way to synchronise, customise and edit favourites without utilising the cloud option on Edge C. Could I use OneDrive?
If using cloud, how can I access to vie and customise the content up there?

"Could I use OneDrive?", Pete
Sure, although, OneDrive is Cloud (wink) We've used Cloud for many years... called it the internet. (<-- just a wee joke, almost)
