I've been fortunate and never have had any hiccup on initial connect.

You are most likely correct, but I wouldn't rule out the Wi-Fi connection. Interference from microwave ovens, baby monitors, phones or neighbors are hard to pinpoint. Even if you have 5 bars, your tablet still needs to send to calibre. My last tablet worked great, but there were spots in my house that it had trouble with the Wi-Fi even though it looked like it should be fine. I would never try to sync with calibre from the furthest point away from my router with the previous tablet. Additionally if your router is set to auto select the best channel sometimes the process of switching channels (to avoid wireless interference) seems to cause quirks.

I have almost 10k books on my device. I connected it the other day intending to just sync the 40 odd tags I updated, but forgot I had copied my calibre library to a new location and installed a different version of calibre. So CC apparently (my guess) decided I needed to have all of my covers sync'd again, An hour and 45 minutes later it completed. But subsequent connections after this took only 5 minutes.

It's working great for me. When I was putting the books on it took quite a while (as I expected) and I limited sending the books in batches of 1000. I had the occasional glitch, but nothing I would attribute to CC or calibre. I did a factory reset on my tablet once so I actually sent all of the books to the tablet twice.
During the hiccups I did have, I never lost any books on my device. Sometimes they weren't all sent because of an error, but I picked up where the transfer left off and continued on.

Good luck.
