Yeah, +1 -- I smell premature optimisation.

I wouldn't think that's worth the effort. Tombstones should be
small enough and infrequent enough that I wouldn't care about
getting them on an initial sync.
It’s pointless either way. You might avoid receiving a bunch of
irrelevant tombstones on the first fetch – only to end up getting
them all on your second fetch.
You could invest somewhat significant extra complexity to make it
actually work… all so you can avoid a handful of tombstones for a
short period after subscribing to a feed. Ahem.
