I can only speak for Kasts, but, yes, if you would toggle the played state
twice in Kasts, it should then sync the state of all episodes across to
AntennaPod.  Any further updates should then sync "perfectly".
And, again, there is hardly any way around defining the state of each episode
explicitly once after setting up the sync in order to get *unambiguous* sync
results.  Remember that there can (and will be) be lots of potential conflicts
that the apps need to be able to resolve when syncing.
This procedure will take a one-time effort when you set up the sync on the
first device (and after adding each new feed); it should then work perfectly
for any new device from that point onwards.

> Is there something AntennaPod could do to improve the initial sync?

I don't know AntennaPod well enough.  I think there was a "force sync" button
that might do what you want to achieve; but it might also be doing something
completely different.  But, again, I think it's a bad idea to force push all
episode states to the server on initial sync *by default*, because that e.g.
would overwrite any states that might have already been on the server.  Of
course, having the option available (as non-default) would be ok if there's a
big warning sign saying that it will overwrite everything on the server.
