I'm still unsure about the Shadows cloaking, still kinda just see that as their way to hop into/out of Hyperspace and not so much as a way to monitor and sneak around.

While I don't have any of the books or AOG. I have seen all of the TV shows/movies (except for Crusade, to which I only saw the movie and the first 2 shows, and the episode where the Centauri homeworld get attacked). It has always been my belief that the Shadows (and some of the Ancents where able to cloak their ships).
Arguments can/have be made for boths side. But personaly I think the they do have some type of cloak techology that they used. I remember one website saying that they, the Shadows, where able to phase into a place inbetween normal space and hyperspace. Ofcourse shorlty after i read another site that said that they couldn't do it. But I think that if you take a look at some of the battles that the Shadows fought, especaly the battles where they set up an ambush, their is stronger evidence that they can cloak when they need/want too.
For example: The episode during the Narn-Centauri war where Gr'Kar warns the Narns about the up coming Centauri attack on their homworld. But the Narns still decided to attack the Centauri's supply lines only to be ambushed by the Shadows. Also, the episode where Londo told Mr. Mordan about the Narn mission to Z'ha'dum. Too which the Narns once again get the bad end of the Shadow Beam.
As for the fear of having a "phased" Shadow fleet over your Homeworld, well yeah, I can see where that would suck. So as the rep for the Shadows, I gerentee you no more than 2 ships above your homeworld at any given time.* How's that for a deal?
*Disclaimer: This offer void when I'm about to launch a sneak attack against you, your allies, or any other race that does not support my way of thinking.
