Looks good overall!

+solution to fix it is to use the [admin API](usage/administration/admin_api/background_updates.md#run) or
+execute the SQL [here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/storage/schema/main/delta/53/user_dir_populate.sql)


Probably best if we only suggest a single way to do this, I think?
