The impression I got from using Ruma's bot SDK library was that bot clients needed to keep around a lot of state involved in syncing the room to handle new messages properly. Which largely lines up with what you said, although maybe it's possible I could have gotten away with a more lightweight solution since I wasn't making a stanalone client?

Another impression I got was this was kind of an excessive amount of duplication (and other duplications) that could have been avoided had a bit more forethought been put into the protocol design, especially with how these features interact with the e2ee.
