It seems to me that it's probably best to continue to limit shared libraries to those packages that really need them to work with non-openpkg programs (e.g. unixodbc, myodbc) or that must be built with shared libraries to enable other openpkg packages (perl and the postgresql perl support). If all packages that could have shared libraries built were modified to allow this, I would probably specify the default to be off, and turn it on for individual packages in my ~/.openpkg/build file.
