If #1 is from last week and you added a new custom column yesterday and sync #2 now then they will have different fields. Until you also sync #1.
And #1 and #2 might even come from different computers/Calibre and might be completely different.

I think that the all metadata files are updated whenever Calibre is accessing the device, so there are always current.

I'm not even sure that is possible. You can tell Calibre to not send some metadata? Does this also mean that Calibre might not even send some of those over that I use? I don't think Koreader will crash in that case, but of course the search results will not be very helpful in case of e.g. an empty title...

No, Calibre always writes all of its data.
What I was suggesting was to 'copy' (and so check on search) only the columns that you like or need.
If there is user input, Koreader does not has to search the metadata.calibre for 'all' the columns, and it will copy to its own metadata file only the ones needed.
This could keep the file smaller and the search fast.
