Flavor-wise I can't see why not allow shift.
But Flavor-wise I can't see how positioning can be off (Pokemons must be somewhere). If we consider positioning = off as "the pokemon are so close or in a way that their positions don't matter", changing said positions also won't matter. Ally Switch, being something fast and unexpected, can be justified flavorwise in position=off matches as "pokemon got surprised". In the other hand, to say that the pokemon is so stupid as to not notice the pokemon moving around is silly if we disregard positions (even if we don't it is dubious, but justifiable somewhat).
So I Support this without discussion. TBH I feel that we should try positions = on more, as I don't remember any battle being in that format. But that is the topic for another discussion in some other occasion. In the current situation, since we disregard positioning completely, it would be highly weird to suddenly regard it for Shift then forgeting about it again as the battle goes on.
