Neil - the discussion so far is about whether or not something like adminrole is a good idea. My contention is that if you believe that using UID1 is bad then using adminrole is nearly as unsafe.

If you use adminrole but also remove many of the privileges then it becomes more safe. However, most paranoid people feel that it's better to consciously enable permissions than have that happen automatically.
