Modifying an ebook file by merely opening it is unnecessarily risky, particularly in light of the fact that there's already a file that could store the last page viewed.
That would assume you only use the calibre viewer on that machine - for me that's not the case.

I don't mind synching .epub files based on their mod date, there's plenty of gadgets to do that, but I don't know of any gadgets that selectively synch the contents of .json files.

Edit : There's also bookmarks - I exchange epubs with colleagues, and we use the the viewer's bookmark feature as a primitive annotation feature - they are also in the epub.file. Same as notes and highlights are when we exchange PDF files
