The main advantage is that waiting on channels creates a causal relationship
between goroutines which is visible to synctest. When a controller in a
synctest bubble does a WaitFor in a test's background goroutine for the
controller, the test can use synctest.Wait to wait for completion of cache
sync, without requiring any test specific "has controller synced" API. Without
this, the test had to poll or otherwise wait for the controller.
The polling in WaitForCacheSync moved the virtual clock forward by a random
amount, depending on how often it had to check in wait.Poll. Now tests can be
written such that all events during a test happen at a predictable time. This
will be demonstrated in a separate commit for the
pkg/controller/devicetainteviction unit test.
The benefit for normal production is immediate continuation when the last
informer is synced (not really a problem, but still...) and more important,
nicer logging thanks to the names associated with the thing that is being
waited for. The caller decides whether logging is enabled or disabled and
describes what is being waited for (typically informer caches, but maybe also
event handlers or even something else entirely as long as it implements the
DoneChecker interface).

Waiting for caches to sync
Caches are synced

The "SharedIndexInformer *v1.Pod" is also how this appears in metrics.
