Caveat: I'm jumping out of my depth and just throwing my non-neural-researcher understanding out there.
At the individual neuron level, everything is asynchronous, right?
The firing/pulsing behaviors happen at a network level and this implementation should still see harmonic effects. In fact, you might even see richer harmonic effects because the neurons are asynchronous and not all clocked together.
So while you're probably right that firing/pulsing/synchronicity behaviors are a vital aspect of the brain, at the network level the best way for us to see more brain-like harmonics will be to have asynchronous neurons.
