The problem lies with the rim, not the tire. All tires will fit poorly on the Synergies, whether 650B or 700C. You can make it work – I use the Synergies on my own bike – but the tire doesn't seat automatically as it should. If you don't have problems, then you are mostly fine. There still is a minor safety issue if you have a sudden blowout, the tire might come off the rim more easily than with a well-designed rim.
If you cannot get the tire to seat well, and it runs wobbly no matter what you do, then it's the rim, not the tire's fault. Generally speaking, seating a tire with stiff sidewalls (and a wire bead) is easier, because the tire wants to assume its round shape. A supple tire with Kevlar bead can be harder to seat if the rim doesn't support it as it should.
