So, my question is whether I need to use the dovecot imap sharing namespace in order to safely share imap folders, or whether I can just use file system permissions as we have been using? My biggest concern is safe concurrent access to the shared folders, which I'm planning to implent with mbox files for now.

If you want all flags to be shared between users, you can use any method that just works. It's all safe. If you want per-user \seen flags then you need to set up per-user index files and currently it works only with maildir.
