This comment on the one hand suggests that `Maildir++` is the option

yet it also suggests that there are still incompatibilities. What are
the incompatibilities?
What kind of problems should I expect if I was to try and access my
Maildir mirror via Dovecot?
i actually don't know; feel free to investigate, experiment, and report
your findings.
they key is that it's impossible to implement an imap-compatible or even
performant mailbox with pure maildir, so everyone has their private meta
data and possibly caches. unless mbsync happens to be 100% compatible
with dovecot's data (which seems unlikely, to say the least), the best
case would be that the two access schemes simply don't see each other,
while the worst case is that they destroy each other's data.
