Hi,
Again, I am not felling confortable about giving my opinions because I do not have my results yet, but...
If you use Entity beans, then Customer should be one of them, sure.
The problem with entity beans is not sharing but the heavy load they impose on the system.
In the literature we can see that the STATEFUL Session Bean is the heaviest and the Entity is heavier that Stateless Session beans.
When you have up to 600 concurrent users and only one application server, you cannot scale horizontally, then the performance of the application may be affected.
