Looks ok.

So you're using system users. Do the users have +rx permissions to other
users' maildirs?

Do all users have +rwx permissions to /var/lib/dovecot/shared?

%%d doesn't work here. If you're not going to use global ACLs, you can
just set "acl = vfile".

It doesn't show anything until there are shared mailboxes. Are there
any?

You shouldn't touch it. SETACL command updates it.

I'm not sure how well the shared mailbox support works with system
users, or how well it will ever work. You're going to have permission
problems. You could create dovecot-shared files with proper permissions,
but that file isn't automatically created by SETACL command and I'm not
really sure if it even should.
