For example, let's take one a lot of people have, author_book_count. When the book count is updated, all the books in the library will be updated. When I next synchronize with a device, all the books will need to be resent (as then have changed since the last sync).

Actually, not true. The ABC plugin does a direct metadata.db update to the author_book_count custom column SQLite table, so it does not trigger any metadata.opf refresh. Nor should it. ABC is calculated, not a static reference metadata value. ABC also does not update the Last Modified Date for the same reason. ABC is Library-level at a specific point in time.
So, only metadata.db is changed. One file. Nothing else.
