I'm considering just making the calibre libraries read only on the filesystem but looking for cleaner solutions.

Personally I have used Dropbox (I still use it for backup, but not for library syncing any longer), and no matter how careful I was, I still got conflicted database and book folders. I had to run the library check every time I synced across more than one device. So I don't recommend doing it.
Years ago I tried OneDrive, which ended in OneDrive starting to randomly delete my files. And Google Drive is not compatible with the calibre library structure at all (as in, it'll mess the library up pretty quickly).
