I was trying to do something similar many years ago but with git.  I
have a partial solution for calendar ICS files that I was syncing by
hand at the time here:

Apart from that, I would try to increase the sync frequency to reduce
conflict probability, maybe with one of the inotify wrappers to trigger
unison in real-time on file-system changes.
