So, what I'm using.
radicale, hosted at my brothers home, as carddav/daldav server
davdroid on phone, which is foss but paid on the play store (free on fdroid or compile yourself)
Thunderbird on computer.
I have to say it's not the best solution for doing fancy shit cause synchronization could take quite a time until the data appears on the other end.
If I may correct you, I'm not sure if what you are writing makes so much sense, honestly. If you would go with a carddav solution you could either use existing tools or use a library to build your own thing.
What I would do is create both parts, the server on the device and the desktop app, they exchange data in the format like the app receives it (imagining json for transmitting data). The only hard part would be exporting and importing to vCard.
