If you can trust your administrators then you don't need to worry about shell escapes in editors.
The idea for sudoedit is that it allows you to allow non-root users to safely edit files, and if they shell out of their editor then they've not gained root rights - they edit a temporary file as a regular user and then sudo moves the file into place after it is edited.
