Shrinking is risky by design, even in theory;

Reason: host doesn't know which logical filesystems guest supports.
Storage consists of 2 levels: (low-level) block-level (VDI, VMDK, VHD,
...) and (high-level) filesystem level.
It can be FAT, NTFS, ext3, or how about ZFS or BetterFS ?

VirtualBox does support only block-device level storage, but not
logical filesystems on top of it. Shrinking is theoretically very
risky, until VirtualBox learns to read logical filesystems level also,
in addition to block-device level.

Not gonna happen IMO.
