You wouldn't be blocking the authors form using this feature you would just be switching it so that all shadow style sheets are rendered before the users style sheet.
No plugin should be using these styles to override users styles to start with and is highly unlikely to do any damage to a plugin, however it could save a less savvy user a lot of headache trying to figure out why they can't override styles in the user style sheet like they are told the can. I'd need to see your system to make a real call but it sounds like you have made a plugin that dynamically shifts colors based on your user style sheet? otherwise I'm confused as to why you wouldn't just make style sheets to link at the button of your user style sheet for the given TW.
