I've done cinnamon syrup with white sugar and Demerara and they both turn out good so I think you're set there as well. Like ATP said, flavor extracts are only going to work if you add them to simple syrup. I do use a bit of bitter almond extract along with fresh blanched almonds when I make orgeat, but I haven't ever tried to use vanilla extract to make a syrup. And as expensive as real vanilla extract is I think you're better off buying vanilla syrup. I've always wanted to make scratch vanilla syrup until the cost of whole Tahitian vanilla bean pods gave me sticker shock.
