Why won't they need synchronizing? Each client should still be using their own independent Textures13.db and Thumbnails folders - if you're thinking of sharing a single Thumbnails folder between all your clients then don't, as that doesn't work.

As each of your clients should still be using their own texture cache, pre-loading the texture cache is still a good idea and will improve GUI performance by avoiding the delays that result when artwork needs to be cached.
mklocal.py is useful for converting remote artwork to local artwork and only needs to be run against one client if you are sharing the library (I assume you mean MySQL, and not sharing the SQLite databases, which would be a bad idea).
Amongst other things, the use of local artwork will result in less delays when artwork needs to be cached. Once you have converted remote artwork to local artwork, update the texture caches of all clients so that the new local artwork is cached.
