Thank you so much for including the link to "registers," which provided me several wonderful hours of burrowing into not only "registers," but "pragmatics," "motherese," "phatic communion," and "code-switching!"
I wouldn't call it a synonym, Marc. Certainly, before 'key takeaways' was a set phrase, the concept was familiar. People said *something* instead. "Lessons'? 'Points to remember'?
One of these days when I have nothing better to do, I would enjoy compiling a list of words (or prefixes or suffixes) that are rarely used anymore because something else has taken their place. 'Ultra-' --> 'super-.' Things like that.
I thought the right term was “take home”.
"Take home" is the term I've heard most often in meetings (in academia) over the past decade or so.

For meal orders: "Take-out" is also used frequently, e.g.: "I'm calling to place a take-out order."
"Key takeaways" from a sermon? Funny! (Or how about, "The key takeaway from this fable of Aesop is....")
Do you have a synonym you prefer?
