I'm trying rygel again as I write and will report.

I disagree, quite strongly.  The world is full of amplifiers supporting
network streaming, as against a few thousand unsupported logitech
devices (I have no idea how many) and a few technically savvy people
with wandboards, picoplayers and the like. If LMS supported people who
just have network amplifiers more easily, there might be very many more
users, especially those of a less technical frame of mind.

Anything else apart from well-controlled multi-room sync?  I can't think
of anything.

Not having another box is, to my mind, an enormous advantage.  It isn't
about cost, it's about totally unnecessary complexity.  But I have said
my piece on that more than once.
