It would be possible to do both. The INBOX/ could be set up as a hidden
namespace and the "" namespace would be the default one. Or is there a
reason why you wouldn't want "" namespace to show up anything?

Or you could also see if you could create a private namespace with
prefix="#User/" and subscriptions=yes, perhaps with
location=maildir:/var/lib/dovecot/empty:CONTROL=~/Maildir/shared where
the empty directory would be a world-readable non-writable empty
directory. That namespace should then catch subscriptions to shared
mailboxes.
