I am not entirely sure about the real life use-case for
muting
notifications from a contact when you can just block them via other
ways, but maybe I'm just not imaginative enough. :)
The use case is that it might be desirable to have noisy notifications from specific
contacts and muted notifications from other non-urgent or annoying contacts.

I agree that it would be nice to have fine-grained
notifications synchronization across clients.
While looking to see if XMPP have such XEP, I
found these extensions from Tigase that might be helpful in writing an official XEP:
https://xeps.tigase.net/docs/push-notifications/filters
I think this covers the specific use case of a push server, which unfortunately limits
its scope.
For MUCs, it is a perfect fit for XEP-0402: PEP Native Bookmarks <extension>, in
the spirit of XEP-0469: Bookmark Pinning? eg:
<item id='theplay(a)conference.shakespeare.lit'>
<conference xmlns='urn:xmpp:bookmarks:1'
name='The Play's the Thing'
autojoin='true'>
<nick>JC</nick>
<extensions>
<notify xmlns='urn:xmpp:filter-notifications:0'
when='always'/>
</extensions>
</conference>
</item>
with when= taking 3 possible values "always", "never" and
"on-mention".
For contacts, a PEP (XEP-0163: Personal Eventing Protocol) node would work. wouldn't
it?
<publish node='urn:xmpp:filter-notifications:0'>
<item id='that-damn-guy(a)annoying.server'>
<notify when='never'/>
</item>
</publish>

List, any feedback on these ideas?
