I'm not sure I understand your follow-up question.  You've restated my
answer, and re-iterated your preference to not have metadata on the
member devices.

So you need to write a service to handle metadata the way you want.  Or
write scripts that will do --build operations at appropriate times
without metadata.

I'm not entirely clear why the on-member metadata is unacceptable, but
as such, either remaining option needs some code of your own.
