That's without mentioning the kind of people the heroes are and the kind of personality they have, which for all they know will just clash with each other to the point of in fighting.

Is she hoping that somehow the new heroes will just work together with no problems at all? Does she not know that power and status corrupts people and telling someone they are some sort of super special entity in that world will corrupt them? It only takes ONE person in the group with delusions of grandeur to fuck shit up for everyone.
Not necessarily. The current batch is really quite poor, as others have noted previously. They refuse to cooperate with each other, not just with the Shield but with any of the others. Each is convinced that he's the sole hero in the story and the others need to learn to listen and cooperate with him instead of doing their own useless thing. If they were more cooperative and willing to stop and think about things, investigate before passing judgment, Naofumi's guilt could have been disproven or brought to doubt very quickly and at the least all four would be standing against the people that hated him instead of siding with them in ostracizing him. Four people whom the nobility hates but who stand together to protect the people would be far more effective than four people who can't cooperate, of whom three have decided to specifically ostracize one and dismiss him as useless.
