One of the new features in Sierra will be Documents and Desktop folders replicating in iCloud. Will this work the same way as the iCloud Drive folder already works? Meaning there will now be three folders on the Mac that act like "iCloud Drive"? I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything groundbreaking here. Thanks.

Have a look at the preview os macOS Sierra, that has been published on Apple's pages: macOS Preview - Apple
As explained during the Apple Live event, when the preview of Sierra has been presented to the public, the Documents folder in iCloud will come with an optimize storage option. You can opt to have the older documents only stored in iCloud, and only the most recent documents stored locally on your Mac.
Optimized Storage
When you need more space, let your Mac find it for you.
Storage space maxed out? No problem. macOS Sierra can help make more room by automatically storing rarely used files in iCloud and keeping them available on demand. It can also help you find and remove old files you no longer use. So the files you’ve used most recently stay on your Mac and there’s always room for new ones.
Files you rarely need are saved in iCloud. Until you need them.
When you need more space, Optimized Storage makes room by storing infrequently used files, email attachments, photos, and previously viewed iTunes movies and TV shows in the cloud. You can easily find every file right where you saved it. Just open it up and download the original as if it was always there. Files you’ve used recently remain on your Mac along with optimized versions of your photos, so you can work offline.
Thanks. I don't have the beta. Was just curious. Will ask again when it comes out on the 20th.
