So it's not like Shaft's involvement will invariably result in an unmitigated disaster.

Ef is a romance melodrama that had a moe aesthetic based of an eroge visual novel. Hidamari sketch is a slice of life with a moe aesthetic based off a 4-koma manga. Sangatsu is a coming of age story with no moe aethestic and based off a massively popular manga targeted at adult women and one that would actually be more suited for a live action tv series (but since japanese live action is almost always lolbad i rather it wasnt adapted to a live action). I see zero intersection here.
And before anyone quotes makoto shinkai being part of the production despite probably being a "mismatch" for the ef games the easy explanation is that the scenery porn that shinkai does totally aligned with the tone and atmosphere of the background art in the ef games. Plus he was only invovled in the background art and in the openings for the two games.
