I agree with the "I won't be editing my bookmarks concurrently on two devices", but I wonder if "we're a family using the same Firefox desktop profile (hence the same Sync account) but using different devices tied to that account" is typical enough to cause us to keep it in mind when thinking about concurrent operations. *Something* is causing the non-trivial amount of corruption/races in our current Sync system. Maybe it's not the example I present, but if it exists in the current system, I don't think we should quickly simplify it away.
