The problem with doing it your way is that each Kodi has to call on the NAS to get updated... It's more traffic on your network, more overhead work for each Kodi device... Having a central location for the data to be stored (in the form of an SQL) that all the Kodis call on means they don't each need to individually download fanart or descriptions... each device doesn't have to spend that 2-5 minutes updating your library... instead, it just reads the available library from your SQL... as an added bonus, having it set up this way means you can pause your movie in the living room, walk to the kitchen and resume exactly where you left off... then pause it, go to bed, pop kodi up on your phone and finish watching from where you left off...
