But for those who cloud sync as I do, what's to stop them from just simultaneously reading the device on a phone or whatever, while loaning say their Kindle to somebody else? Seems like maybe this could still get iffy, I don't know. Maybe not a problem. I've never tried it.

The Kindle terms and conditions allow simultaneous use on a number of devices. The number of devices that a book can be on simultaneously is controlled by Amazon directly. If you reach the limit, you'll need to delete it from one old device before being able to add it to a new device.
For Amazon, certainly, loaning a device is a perfect way to loan an ebook to a friend to read.
