For instance, have my RPG book library open while loading comic books into another library, or even have processes loading into my RPG book library and my comic book library concurrently. Possibly while I'm in my technical library.

Multiple tabs might make virtual libraries more capable than I realized, but I'm pretty sure they still don't let me load into one while I read another.
See the CalibreSpy plugin, it provides concurrent Read Only access to multiple libraries ==>> Index of plugins

CalibreSpy didn't exist when bookw0rm started this thread.
