With a peristaltic dosing pump, you would have to frequently run water through the tubing to keep it from gunking up. A syringe pump is a very simple device, doesn't have the potential for clogging that a peristaltic pump has, and can pump very thick and highly viscous solutions with relative ease at a precise dosing rate.

Is this your experience or what you've been told?
The only clogging I have experienced is the tip of the output tubing. We run our IA 9SD and others) product through a peri. pump and it never really clogs. RF will clog at the tip where if it comes in contact with air. Easy solution to that is to submerge it
