Did you rsync in a loop? Or on demand?

I used Unison at Amazon, and it was the most seamless of all the options I tried. The two way sync was especially useful for being able to open up test results in a browser locally

You can write a script that uses the OS's native file watching system and triggers rsync. That's an approach I used and eventually everyone else on my team, not Amazon, also ended up using.

Wasn't very difficult to setup, on Linux at least.

On demand, which for me was a big reason to use rsync over unison. I preferred the control.

That said I was definitely in the minority, but eh
