Witnessless Sync for Pruned Nodes

More interesting if other optimizations move bandwidth to being decisively the limit for more nodes-- there are recent proposals that seem to.

Also more interesting if the number of limited-only nodes wasn’t so tiny, but perhaps that’s a bit chicken and egg with reducing the bandwidth.

FWIW just using a more efficient serialization for transactions can reduce bandwidth (and storage, if you use it there too) on the order of 1/3rd.
