Wrong thinking.
With the single library structure, in case the big OOPS happens, Calibre has a single branch to rescan and recreate the metadata (backup for each book is stored in with the books.
Your way = total loss, instead of letting Calibre grind away on the branch for 10 or so minutes.
Smart people pick the Calibre way.
