Thank you!!! This should do it for me.
For those that asked, I'm using FreeFileSync (https://freefilesync.org/)
to sync files between various systems.

I have three laptops on which Darktable is installed; two Windows 10

photos folders, including JPEGs, RAW files and XMP sidecar files.
I've begun to wonder if I'm shooting myself in the foot by doing so.
The question is this - are the sidecar files closely tied to an
internal Darktable database on the computer where the work was done?
Am I making the dog's breakfast of things by syncing files and in
doing so, inadvertently getting the sidecar files out of sync with
the unique database associated with each computer?
I use synchronized photo folders too; the important thing is to have
set the option (in core option group) "look for updated xmp files on
startup". When you open you darktable on the other machine, it will
ask if you want to reload the XMPs or rewrite them; answer "reload"
and voilá, all is going well.
Screenshot of the option (I hope it goes through):
