Does the server-side integration allow cross-site tracking? I don't see how it possibly could.

Not familiar with the particulars, but server-side GA, has the same theoretical ability as the current Javascript-based GA. The only difference is that the client code is served by the first party, and not the Google servers.

GA can compare fingerprints from different websites, so that should work.
