multiprocessing.Value can be synchronised using a lock, but if I have multiple multiprocessing.Value(s) which I want to synchronise between two processes, then I will have to pass a lock for each multiprocessing.Value. Therefore having a multiprocessing.AtomicValue could prove handy in these cases. I have also described some practical use cases wherein I might need to synchronise multiple values between processes.

Please see my second mail in this thread, where I have comprehensively explained what I mean by atomic types. It is nothing but multiprocessing.Value, which can have an Atomic variant to be used across processes.
Doesn't multiprocessing.Value already have a lock option for this exact purpose? How else would your atomic access work?
