Question, do you think its possible to be a suburb of nothing?

While every city benefits in some ways from its suburbs, I don't think any city needs a suburb to exist.  On the other hand, I have never heard of a suburb existing without a city.

In this situation Syracuse would be the heart of CNY and pick your suburb (Baldwinsville, lets say) would be an arm.  You certainly don't ever want to lose your arm, but you can live without it.  On the other hand, if the heart dies, the arms, legs, and every other body part dies with it.

One final point.  Most of the apartments downtown cost upwards of 2 grand a month.  They are not filled with young 20 somethings.  Most people that age can't afford that kind of rent.  You are misunderstanding the situation if you think the apartments are filled with young kids who are going to move out when they grow up.

While its true, millennials are moving to Syracuse in record numbers (I believe we are 2nd in the country for highest percentage of millennials moving in), most of them live in the established neighborhoods, which are not going anywhere and don't rely on the suburbs in any way, shape, or form.
