We ran into this too, and ended up not using the Shadow DOM at all. We want our stuff to automatically use the page's fonts, sizes, colors etc. Also we want customers to be able to customize stuff with CSS without having to use JS hacks to inject CSS into the shadow DOM (this gets especially cumbersome when you're nesting web components). Personally I feel like the shadow DOM is the most oversold part of web components, in that it's so all-or-nothing that it often creates more problems than it solves.
