Honestly, I don't know. I don't sync the shelves from GR except to test that it works. That means I normally sync a smallish shelf. But, I have recently synced my "Read" shelf that has 818 books on it. There were no issues doing that.

Thinking about it, I don't think it will matter much. The API rate limiting is on total calls to the API, so it doesn't matter which direction the bulk of the data is going. Whether you have the books in calibre or not, the same information is being fetched when syncing a shelf from GR. It retrieves the shelf contents with what you see displayed in the syncing dialog. But, I would add the books by other methods with the GR identifier. The reason for that is it means you don't have to match the books from GR to calibre in the dialog. They should all be matched.
