Should not be needed. What was described is a workaround that worked for this person.
Many times, from the configuration status or audit log you can find out what's going wrong. Recently I saw for example that if you delete an SSID but there are still clients connected, the configuration cannot be deployed. Reboot of the accesspoint would resolve that situation. And there probably are a few more scenarios that happen mostly in lab, where in short time you configure, change, delete configuration.
If it's not that trivial, please open a TAC case to find the root cause and get the issue resolved.

Sorry but I don't understand why the devices are being deleted to resolve this. Shouldn't there be a way to force all devices in a group to resync? What if you have dozens of devices unsync'd?

I recently experience the same scenario with 635 APs.
Following the process below I was able to synchronize my APs.
First, Screen shot All APs, to include AP name, MAC Address and Serial Number.
Screen shot of map for AP locations. (APs drop off map once deleted)
Screen shot of Switch interface status output
Switch CLI Commands:
h-Xxxx-g01-c #
conf t
int 1/1/xx
shut
In Central
Once AP is offline, delete the AP from AP Group-Central
Switch CLI Commands:
h-Xxxx-g01-c #
conf t
int 1/1/xx
no shut
AP CLI Commands:
Once AP is online
write erase all
reload
In Central
Move the AP from default AP group into AP Group-Central (Search by serial number if required)
reconfigure AP
The AP has returned to service as synchronized
