We use synonyms here and there, and have never had any issues with them "not working".

We use SPs over SQL code in our application whenever possible. In some organizations it might shift a lot of load to the DBAs or make the developers have to wait on DBAs to get them changed if needed, but it also allows changes to be made "on the fly" a lot easier in many cases without the need to do a code release. It just depends on the organization/environment you're working in.
