I think one of the reasons, the Sims wiki doesn't have any side effects from having inactive admins and bureaucrats is because they have a system setup which lists only the active admins and bureaucrats. Unless a user looks up all the admins and bureaucrats via Special:ListUsers, the inactive admins and bureaucrats are unlikely to be contacted.

Also since the Sims wiki has a large community, only the users that are highly trusted can pass off as admins and bureaucrats, and because the Sims wiki has a large number of editors, and fair number of active admins and bureaucrats, it's unlikely that there would be any disruption caused by a fellow admin or bureaucrat.
