I think that many of the issue with network drives relate to the handling of the metadata.db file over the network, and in particular record locking.
I run my system with the Calibre library on the network (via a mapped drive) , but my metadata.db file held locally with its location specified by the CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH environment variable. I launch Calibre via a batch file that sets this up. This seems to work without any issues for me. I then have the batch file I use to launch Calibre set to copy the metadata.db file back from the local location to the Calibre library held on the network drive.
I am not sure if this is an officially supported way of working but it does seem to run error free,
