My understanding is that Calibre modifies the db every time it is opened so obviously it's not going to be possible to keep the peer databases sync'd to the seed db.

I'm going to try to replicate that that. And I'll report back.
Perhaps you want to try FreeFileSync. You can set it up to do Mirror Mode syncing so it will force the peer computer to have the exact same directory structure as the seed computer.

It has an automatic syncing option, and it works over a network. (That's how I synced my library this morning). It even allows you to set up file versioning. You can specify a folder where files it deletes get placed, so you don't have to worry about losing your files.
