Previously, it seemed the sliding sync required a Postgres-backed Synapse installation. Does the Matrix 2.0 version of Synapse provide a seamless upgrade path for those using the default Sqlite installation?

Yes. the sliding sync proxy shim is gone; Synapse now uses its native database for sliding sync, same as the old sync API - so it works with both postgres & sqlite.

By the way, Sqlite should only to be used when testing, not when actually deploying a system that interacts with other systems. https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installati... says as much.
