I don't think a template/mixin can replace that sufficiently well, because you also often want to put some code inside the constructor.
And it is unreadable. "this.x" is very useful for creating new classes in Dart when you build up the main structure of your program.
I don't think "this.x" should be considered syntactical sugar. That seems semantically like a wrong conclusion. You just specify the aggregate variable directly instead of going by a temporary.
Is "a=b" syntactical sugar for "tmp = b; a = b"? No. Ola.
