How well does it work? The aforementioned exchange with Ilfak came after my poor experience with collabREate, a previous plugin that claimed to do the same thing.

Ghidra appears to use version control, with a need to merge changes. Merges could get ugly.
I think Binary Ninja's enterprise version might involve clients connecting to a server that maintains the database. It would be more like Google Docs if that is the case. Actions in the GUI would request atomic transactions on the server, then display the current state.
This is shocking, because, in an E-mail exchange a few years ago, Ilfak wrote to me:
