I am aware that Google drive changes the modification date of files to whatever the upload date and time is. but I don't see how that will affect manually restoring a calibre library. Does calibri look at modification date when it's time to restore a library?

Yes you will have data corruptions. The parenthesis with the number in the filenames will either be modified or removed. So don't rely on Google drive as it can't be trusted.
I am going to say this again, cloud storage is not a good idea. A good idea is a 512GB USB Flash Drive since you don't want to buy an external hard drive.
