There is nothing to be gained from using ND filters to rectify slow flash
sync problems.

Simply thinking about it will clearly give you the answer.

You would be simultaneously cutting down the ambient light AND the light
from the flash.

Nothing gained.

Just so you know, ND filters are graded in 1 stop increments. .3 = one
stop, .6 = two stops, .9 = three stops, 1.2 = four stops, etc...
