Sadly, close to zero is not zero.

When I leave home, I turn off my PC. So, it'll be closed. Besides, I only start Calibre when I buy new books and want to put it on my device. Which I 99,999% of the time do behind my PC. And only rarely on my laptop.
The problem with advice such as "never do it because it will ruin your thing 100% of the time" is that it is very user dependent. I'd rather say: if you use Calibre on a regular basis on multiple devices, be either very careful or use another method. If you use Calibre mostly on one device and very rarely on the other, again be careful, but it is an easy way of backing it up while syncing at the same time.
