It did seem daunting until I had done it once, now it's pretty simple.

We're also headed in the direction of a MySQL replacement (most likely in the forum of the evolved UPnP server) that will be a lot easier than how MySQL is set up now. Basically, all the same features, but where any XBMC instance can become the server itself, and other XBMC instances can automatically discover that server. That's the direction we're working towards now.
Library sharing over UPnP is a feature now, actually, but lacks the ability to share watched and resume statuses and integrate with the internal library. It's still not a bad option, and loads easier than setting up MySQL. It's just that a lot of people don't seem to know about the feature.

But I think this should come with xbmc by default (eg perhaps applying an --headless to the binary which would fire up only services need for a server)

See, this sounds great. But most NAS's (like my 64-bit qnap, for example) run a hamstrung bastardized version of linux that's and absolute pain-in-the-arse to compile any complicated project on (try compiling mythtv on a 64-bit Nas, or compiling 64-bit kernel modules with the 32-bit version of gcc available from ipkg......). I'm sure someone will do it when the option to run headless becomes mainstream, but it's not quite the slam dunk that mysql (which is easily installable on all servers/NAS's) currently proves to be....
