As for avoiding typing couples as duals -- I do suspect that Hinata is actually designed that way (though obviously, probably not with knowledge of socionics), and unfortunately her character is not developed as well as many of the other characters in the series.
That's basically the same as my reasoning. Two others that I know of have typed her as IEI but I don't think it really makes sense.
She might not be a very clear character -- her character didn't seem to be developed much (she was pretty much there in the beginning only as a love-struck tween girl, which I don't think is consistent with her character during the rest of the series, although obviously there were some clues like the focus on knowledge, etc.) until the Chunin exams. Perhaps it would actually make more sense to type pre-Chunin-exam Sakura and post-Chunin-exam Sakura separately.
I think her real skill as a ninja might be more in the clear-headed perceptiveness, which could be evidence of an extroverted orientation. Her clear-sightedness even contrasts with other genjutsu type ninjas who often seem to be sleepier/dreamier even while they are alert, like Kurenai or Shikamaru.
In contrast to his team-mate Chouji, who I think is Si-leading, Shikamaru doesn't really seem Si-leading himself. Shikamaru seems to have a predominantly "mental" focus and, while is obviously a skilled shinobi, seems somewhat more in-tune with his plots and strategies than with his physical needs. When spending time with Chouji, while they both appear to be doing the same sort of thing, like lying on the grass, Chouji is preoccupied by eating crisps or is captivated by butterflies, while Shikamaru appears to be daydreaming (I don't think this is said explicitly, but it is my inference).
His "bothersome" comments is used in a few ways -- it's true that he doesn't like using energy when he can help it, but this is as easily attributed to IP temperament as it is Si-leading. He also uses it in relation to very emotional (high Fe, I'd say) situations and antics, like those of Ino (who I think is EIE), which may point to Fe-PoLR.
So, I don't think SLI is necessarily bad, but I think ILI is probably better.

I admit that, if I were to write a couple into a story, I would probably even deliberately make them duals unless I planned for their relationship to disintegrate.
