Really anyone who uses commands in sbin should know they live in sbin,
anyone who doesn't well, those are the ones they are probably trying to
protect you from.  I've seen and heard of enough incidents where people have
heard of a command and played with it and done damage, if it isn't in their
path they are less likely to go looking for it IMO, they will think it isn't
installed.
I add sbin to path because anyone who is going to be on any of my systems
with root access knows the commands in sbin.
