This is mostly just reiterating what I said on the discord but giving Sleepers access to TC changes the balance of a shift dramatically, even with just light gear. You already have multiple roundstart antags plus whatever ones have latejoined, and adding 3 or more sleepers into a shift with their own goodies is basically a recipe for even more chaos that already happens. Not even taking the RP servers into account (this would not go over well there), shifts are pure chaos enough on non-RP that adding more free traitor gear into the loot pile seems like a bad idea.
On top of this, having traitor items handed to you easy mode is basically completely opposite of what Sleeper agents are supposed to be about, it's hard-mode traitor and thus putting a bit of effort into making/finding all the station alternatives to fun murdertimes is part of the deal of getting a free antag roll midshift. Giving them access to traitor gear on a whim cheapens the experience in my opinion. I'd rather see Sleeper spawns reworked if they're going to be given access to easy syndie gear.
