I haven't gotten around to using MB Bookshelf yet, but I'm familiar with how it works, and also with calibre. (I'm CWNashvegas over on the MB forums.)
Due to the fact that calibre is designed to never have the book folders messed with, I would strongly recommend that you use calibre's Save to Disk feature to create a folder set to use with MB3, rather than trying to get things to work properly for both. This way you don't have to worry about calibre deleting your added files, or other possible conflicts.
After Save to Disk, set up your newly created book folders inside a UNC share just like your other media folders. That's what I plan to do when I get around to it.
While I would love for some sort of fetching to exist for the additional data / images that MB3 can display, we're a long way from an automated process, partly because there currently isn't a provider for some of it, at least not in the way there currently is for other media.
I'm hoping that, eventually, if there are enough users for MB Bookshelf, someone will create a plugin that will gather the available images and also convert hi-res bookcover images into backdrops.
