I would like to see who is syncing stuff from my server and if it’s transcoding. A friend of mine was syncing at medium quality, remotely, and I didn’t know this.

There are a few requests for this already.  In fact, I have one now, but it's by no means the most popular.  If you want something to do this NOW you can try getting plexWatch and it's web interface plexWatchWeb going on your PMS server.
