I think sync has no sense here. It's useless without other info (peer,
function).
Also, it complicates the tests and makes them less reliable.
IMHO simple 'net.box.request' is enough.

This is also weird:

tarantool> f
---
- on_push_ctx: []
  method: call
  sync: 4
  on_push: 'function: builtin#91'
...

tarantool> f.sync
---
- null
...

tarantool> f.method
---
- null
...

Why displaying inaccessible fields? You leave a developer no choice:

tarantool> debug.getmetatable(f).__serialize(f).method
---
- call
...

Of course, I miss that fields, but please, there should be another way to
access them.

Also, speaking of
https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/commit/b996502b403c1698c4b0886de636faa0a63cfb70
,
which of them are you going to merge first? Whichever it is, I guess the
second one is destined to be refactored afterward.

Closes #6314
