Just copying the .kobo directory won't work. This contains the device database and any books purchased from Kobo. But, it doesn't contain the sideloaded books. Copying just the database might work if you have all the books on both devices in exactly the same place, but, I am not sure as I have never tried it.
But, you can do most of it through calibre. You would need to manually maintain the books on the device. If you keep all the books on the devices, it is easy. If you only have a subset, you need to work that out. The Reading List plugin would help with this.
For the shelves, the driver for the Kobo devices can automatically maintain them. When you connect, it updates them based on what you have in calibre.
For the reading status, my Kobo Utilities plugin can do it. You connect one device and sync it to the library, then do the same to the other. The store of the reading status from the device can be automated, but sending it to the other device is manual.
