Problem with loading shelves from shared location is that Maya likes to save local copies of them. Usually that means people easily end up using a local copy of the shelf instead of the one in shared location.
I once had write a Python script for automatically updating shelves from shared location. It took me days to reverse engineer all that mel code from mid 90's and make sure Maya loads the correct shelves, removes local copies, updates optionVars etc. What a nightmare.
