When you copy/shade classes then there is no sealing metadata copied, so unless the code verifies how it is packaged, it will not know that it isn't sealed anymore (or to a different package).
But I guess it doesn't matter, there are many libraries which can be shaded and many which can't, for various reasons. That does not mean it's generally not possible to reduce some dependencies.
