So from what I am seeing in this with a brief look over it, the only cases in which data loss seemed to occur were when two clients were editing the same file temporally close to each other? I.e. you end up creating something similar to a git merge conflict, which cannot be solved automatically well, and thus can generate loss of data.

Yes, because these are not network drives, but instead a drive on your local filesystem, there's no perfect way to lock files the way a network drive can.
