I used to have maybe 10 50,000 photo libraries each, shotwell duplicated my google photos imports because they had different tags / meta – it stayed broken for a few years, finally I fixed it with fdupe. Seems like both shotwell being bad and google being sneaky to me.
gThumb is worth checking out, but for image viewing I usually now use Dolphin and if I want to browse meta I use the sidebar – I think they have a star rating column too but haven’t tried it in a long while.
