If I'm reading you correctly, you bended a bit the system to essentially 
do as I want since the beginning :-)

Your backup server controls everything and gives orders to the clients 
so you end up with a nice sequential backup instead of having 20 clients 
hammering your backup server at the same time.

But I want to hear about people using the default Borg model : A backup 
repo hammered by lots of clients, unaware of each other, at the same time.

Yep, the good model : The backup server controls everything.
