Do I need to have one read buffer per client connected, or one for the server globally?

One per client, because you will get partial reads, and you need to keep reading to assemble entire messages: you want all that data in one place, adjacent.

Same question with write buffer.

One per client, because you can get short writes.

If my server wasn't asynchronous, would it change any of the answers?

No.
