It is feasible some the sstates can be generated using Yocto Autobuilder 
[1] [2] that support setup of various builder machines one as 
controller/worker and workers, things to
consider are:

  * Network bandwidth: Shared states works good on LAN environments.
  * Yocto Autobuilder and Developers Distro's: Shared states generates
    packages that are dependent on the distro like native ones, for use
    100% of shared state is needed to use the same distro.

The common setup consist in a one machine that acts as a 
controller/worker and shared the sstate and downloads to the workers 
using NFS for Developer usage it's better to share with
HTTP to avoid problems with the filesystem permissions.
