Adding a stunning tool for traitors, along the long list of "eh" items available, doesn't sound too harmful to their gameplay. In fact, adding a stunning tool would be a boon and incentive players to act with more confidence against robust threats.
Codewords can also push players to engage in greater roleplaying or classic teamwork. The problem of players ratting out others would not be a design flaw, but more a player abuse problem that will be addressed with ahelps. Maybe making sure they are not radio transmitted, but only in person for balancing so you don't have meta sec shouting about codeword users.
I do believe a nice stunner would really help boost the traitor rounds and we will only see more creative or effective play from them.
If it turns out to be terrible, it can always be removed, but I say try it out. Codewords too.
