I use Capture One to develop RAW, exporting as .JPG, which I'm considering letting LR keep track of.
I wish there was one program that I could use to do all of it, but my results with RAW and LR consistently come up short -vs- Capture One.
Not using LR start to finish was never intended by Adobe - I get it - but I want to make sure I give it a fair shot before abandoning consideration of it.

You can accomplish both your initial JPEG import and ongoing folder Sync using the LR Import module.
1) Select the folder(s) you want to import or Sync only JPEG files. You can also check 'Include Subfolders' (just below 'Source) if applicable.
2) At the top of the Grid select 'Add' and 'New Photos.'
3) At the bottom of the Grid click on 'Uncheck All,' change 'Sort' to 'File Type,' select the first JPEG file, hold down the Shift key and click on the last JPEG file and check one of them. All of the new JPEG files that need importing should now be selected.
4) Select any 'File Handling' or 'Apply During Input' options you want to use.
5) At the bottom of the Grid next to 'Import Preset' select 'Save current settings as a new preset' and give it a descriptive name (Add Only JPEG Files). In the future you simply select this preset to insure all of the Import settings are correct.
5) Click on the 'Import' button.
6) Done!
If all of your C1 edited raw and JPEG files are in a single folder tree, AND you want to insure ALL of the contained JPEGs are kept current inside LR, simply select the Import module top-level folder and check 'Include Subfolders. Then follow the above Import process. It takes but a few seconds.
It sounds way more complicated than it actually is to execute and use.
