If Account1 shares games with Account2, Account2 will still use its SteamID despite playing a shared game. This means that if you ban Account1's SteamID, Account2 will still be allowed to play on your server. People could potentially create a new Steam Account, gain access to Account1's Shared Games, and then come back and play on your server.
Well, that is a crappy side effect of sharing games. Maybe that is how some people are claiming they can get infinite SteamIDs (without having to purchase the game), it all makes sense now.

If I see the issue happening on the server that I play on, I will definitely consider this.
