I looked deeper into their site and they seem to run 4 virtual servers per
box, which at least mitigates some of the security issues. I'd still want
RDS turned off, but I assume that could be arranged since the server is
separate from the others.

If they're using CF Pro, they're probably not running multiple copies on
each machine, since you can't really do that with CF Pro. If it's within a
virtual server, CF Pro is a sensible choice, since you essentially have your
own dedicated server and don't have to worry about anyone else doing
anything within that server.
