The problem with single file formats is they don't play nicely with file sync tools in what I'd call "common" scenarios. Due to the way it's laid out, a git bare repository will work quite well with a per-file syncing system because references are stored as files pointing at the hashed object store. So the worst you can do even without central coordination is have a reference conflict. I'm sure bad things can happen, but for the purposes of "keeping repos synced via syncthing" it works well enough (note: this is different to trying to keep a working repository synced, which I wouldn't recommend).
