I think the bigger issue would be move speed nerf combined with untouched wizard transport spells means the crew is always arriving latter to the scene combined with more time to regen spells. I think wizards being strong is a good thing though.

Since you are more likely to not be an antag than be one I see antag proofing positions as bland statistical power gaming. Also raising your own chance of being antagonist slightly if you don't play the proofed positions.
