Well than why not just outright block the spammers instead of shadowban? Spammers would know that they need to ckeck for shadowbans, and could easily write a script to test for shadowbans after every single post they make. The only ones who could be fooled by shadowbans would be normal reddit users, not aware of such thing, or naive enough to think they wont ever be affected.

I assume that's why they've been working on an alternative to shadowbanning.
