We gave some thought when coming up with our system to something along the lines of what you proposed - a system where we could have everything entered and then merged. There is the biggest issue - cost - but there's also some other issues with the server-client paradigm that just not addressable in the time we had for designing the app. Issues such as how to handle the networking, installation by other teams, where to position folks, how to bring the pit scouting into the mix, all of these were issues that factored into this year's system of a centralized app with paper scouting feeding into it.
There are, I believe, scouting systems out (or that have been out in the past) that involve server-client. What we were going for, primarily, was a system that was flexible, easy to use and easy to install/upgrade. I think we accomplished that.
And, there will be an update this weekend before the Championship Event.
