I've seen issues also with MS Office using Windows Shares on Windows.
You can drive letters in Windows so if you install another data drive and it ends up using one of your network letters, you assign it a different letter and go back to your network drive letter. It's really easy to deal with. Or you could make your network drive Z if you prefer. And another thing you can do is just point Calibre to the new shared drive letter to find the libraries.

Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, & Windows 11 all with no problem with Calibre's libraries on a network share.
