Is there a way I could piggyback on my existing syncthing directory to synchronize some part of the koreader directory (files/folders there) using a tool like syncthing / rsync / unison etc?
Synchronize the history list across each device. I.e. open a new file on one device, all other devices would receive this information and my history screen on any device would be the same.
Synchronize the annotations, notes and bookmarks from device to device. i.e. I highlight a passage on one book, then all other devices receive this data. Would be super handy.
Many thanks for reading this.

The answer is still the same: nope.
A more verbose answer about why 3rd party stuff won't work to sync history/highlights/...
Because all that stuff requires device specific data, such as paths, that are not the same on different platforms.
So it needs 1st party love even when you use 3rd party software to sync.
