Using dash as /bin/sh was introduced to solve some specific problems. Which unsolved problems would using these other shells as /bin/sh solve that is not solved already by using dash? I am not aware of any such problems, and unless some problem can be solved by replacing /bin/sh by for example posh and ksh93, I see no reason to increase the complexity of the solution selected to handle /bin/sh to cater for those that want to do this.
