Double reeds are a whole different animal.
Being that they vibrate against each other and are a bit picky ( especially an oboe reed, you just look at an oboe reed the wrong way and it will give you a world of trouble!) it's much more difficult to come up with a good synthetic reed for them.
But... I believe that someone in the future will come up with a good one, although it's difficult.
Forestone seems to me would have a good shot at this if they would ever to decide to design some double reeds, as the proprietary composite material is a mixture of polypropylene resin and cellulose wood fibre, more than 50 percent of which is bamboo, where many of these synthetics are just plastic.
Let's hope that someone designs some good synthetic reeds in the near future for oboe, EH and bassoon!
The problem with reeds are what keep many from playing double reeds.
