Also if you don't access the Kobo Database you can't set some of the metadatas. That's normally safe when the Kobo FW version is working properly.
I'd not deploy Calibre-Web for multiple reasons.

It is the same thing. It's a program accessing an SQLite database other than the one originally intended. You don't run Calibre and Calibre-Web simultaneously either and Calibre-Web accesses the Calibre DB on the same computer with the same file system.
Calibre-Web has benefits over just Calibre, like direct Kobo sync, nicer web interface, lighter on resources, etc. Whether that's worth a "non-valid" program accessing a Calibre database is up to the user just as it's up to the user whether it's worth having Calibre accessing a Kobo's database to set extra metadata.
I get that you don't care for sync, only ever use USB, yadda yadda but Calibre-web is fine to use and has enough benefits to be worth using IMO.
