Agree with your point about anonymization, but here is a call out for generated data too: if the objective is to build a model, you might end up losing information, or worse, your model might end up modelling the assumptions in the generation process.

Yes, that's absolutely valid. This too is hard. But then again, if it were easy everybody would be doing it so consider it a problem that when solved properly becomes part of your moat and a thing that you could easily mention in a sales process to ensure a level playing field with other parties pitching.
