Yeah, that's been in todo for a while. I'd probably make dovecot-shared file have options:
I was just thinking today it would be nice to have per-USER private or shared. So e.g. all users by default might share \Seen \Answered but some admin users have private \Seen, and don't have to worry about resetting the \Seen flag when investigating for problems.
Are you still talking about shared mailboxes, or also users' private mailboxes?
This can be done already in a limited fashion with the 's' ACL (remove it for said admin users in the case above), but perhaps annoying if your mail client presents an error dialog when it fails to set the \Seen flag.
I'm too lazy to verify now, but I think Dovecot sends an OK reply even if it doesn't have permissions to update flags, exactly because a NO reply would cause clients to show annoying popups.
