Is syncing the only way to get books onto the kindle (or other device running the kindle app)? Or can they just be put on manually over USB? This would be less convenient, but would allow more control over which books were on which kindle.

I don't think it downloads all the books to your device, it's just that you can't block certain books from being available for download to certain devices.

You can certainly transfer books over USB, but Amazon purchased books will always be available for download on the Manage Your Kindle page.
