You're still going to want to deploy the CF_2CFMODULEd version on a shared host, because you don't know what someone else has done to their copy of one or more custom tags, and they might also have deployed the CF_ version as well, which might throw your application.
It'll all be transparent as soon as the Plum Service is ready, which will hopefully be in a couple of weeks. As far as the shared hosting stuff, it all comes down to a balance between competition and paranoia. I would imagine that a good shared host has various different configurations, where the majority are on locked-down boxes with lots of restrictions, but if a client needs more features than the typical boxes offer then his application is moved to a box that allows more at an understandably higher risk for need of support by the host. The host is either willing to minimize and manage that addition risk by partitioning such apps on a small number of "riskier" boxes, or his competition is. That's the way I see it, at least.
