Would this work making a homemade rhubarb simple syrup ? (1:1 water:sugar) i'm pretty sure we don't have tinned rhubard sold here.

Certainly worth a try. Could be a huge improvement.

Just to check, is this really supposed to be 45ml of rhubarb syrup? That's a hefty whack of sugar... Or is my homemade syrup just a little over concentrated?

Took me a while to find the original recipe which was new to our volume 3 book published in 2003. Yes, 45ml of rhubarb syrup but "light syrup" from tinned rhubarb. I've corrected above. I now need to acquire a tin to try the cocktail.
