The problem is not with the cloud per se but the network connection required to reach the cloud. See
SQLite Over a Network, Caveats and Considerations for more information. One quote from the item:

This simple, "remote database" approach is usually not the best way to use a single SQLite database from multiple systems, (even if it appears to "work"), as it often leads to various kinds of trouble and grief. Because these problems are inevitable with some usages, but not frequent or repeatable, it behooves application developers to not rely on early testing success to decide that their remote database use will work as desired.

The database used for calibre could be changed to a client/server database that is designed to function over a network but those come with their own cans of worms and would require a major amount of rewriting calibre's code and that of any plugins that directly access the database.
