I can see that Kovid has answered this in 2009.

But has Calibre been improved in this area and more importantly is this advisable?

Warning:
1: 1 PC connected at a time. There are no protections against multiple accesses making mush out of your DB or Library.

2: Multiple Operating systems (Win/Linux/MAC) can cause things to go bump in the night

If you just need access to the books, Run the Content server on the PC that MANAGES the books and Metadata and access the books from 1 or more PC's (Same LAN, needs no other configuration) using a standard browser.
