joe_sixpack - a feature that might assist is the ability to relocate the database (metadata.db) via the CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH environment variable

It allows you to specify the full path to metadata.db. Using this variable you can have metadata.db be in a location other than the library folder. Useful if your library folder is on a networked drive that does not support file locking.

Thus, you'd have the author book folders on the NAS (book warehouse) and the metadata.db database (catalogue) on a local drive, an SSD perhaps. Your backup regime would have to be configured to ensure the book warehouse backup (author/book folders on NAS) and the catalogue backup (metadata.db database on local drive) were synchronous.
I don't know if/how this might affect the operation of calibre-server or Calibre Companion.
