Why not make it
optional? For example, via tweaks. It will be nice of you.
I know about non-ascii problem with some devices, but even my Sony PRS-505 in 2007 didn’t have this problem.
For now, I have 812 English books, 701 Russian, 34 Turkish and some (less than 10) in other languages. Transliteration is unusable for me, and I suppose for other users with non-Latin alphabets. Every time I must "save to disk" on my PC, then connect device and overwrite everything. And I cannot just add new books because structure could have been changed between “syncs”. It's a really long process (40 minutes+ on Kobo).

Try using one that navigates by metadata, not files.

Moon+ Reader Pro on modern android devices, AlreaderX on android e-ink device and KOReader on Kobo (it's not only me, but also family members). For now, I have 3 classes of books (Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Languages learning) and hierarchical categories system in each of them, so I don't know how metadata will save me on mobile devices.
Perhaps metadata would be enough for fiction (even for fiction, series and multiple authors are pain) but for non-fiction, filesystem is the only way
