That would work if the NAS *always* was the same path.

Since as per the man pages the library can be on a different location - 
would it make more sense for a person who uses NAS for pictures and more 
than one computers to work on the images to simply put the library on 
the NAS?


Then each computer can access the same library (perhaps not 
"simultaneously").

I'd like a setting -- not simply a command line option -- to skip
the database altogether and just use sidecar files.  I didn't find
any such setting in the current git master.

Indeed, although I can easily live with its behaviour since
re-reading updated XMP files was added to DT.

Set database=:memory: in ~/.config/darktable/darktablerc.

does that affect data.db (tags)?

No. data.db is part of dt's settings, so that is only changeable together with
the configdir.
