This is no worse than when the theists go to the God Plane. Also, you can run quick (minutes long) forays for the shaman while the theists interact among themselves. Any long involved hunt for a really special spirit by the shaman should be equivalent to a foray into the God Plane by the theists and should be given as much attention by the GM. (This is all assuming that the theists don't drag the poor shaman into the God Plane at any opportunity.)
