If I'm correct, this means that one can either benefit from 8bit APPENDs while blocking with synchronizing literals, or use LITERAL+ and do the encoding to some transport format on their own, not using BINARY. Is that right?

It's not defined, so I don't think clients can legally use their
combination.. Although Dovecot supports the obvious way of combining
them: ~{n+}
