I've got mine in an invert only tank now. If they happen to drop an egg, is there anything preventing eggs from hatching if the shrimp don't carry them around? I don't think pond snails, ramshorns or bridgsii's would eat them, so wouldn't they just sit around on the bottom of the tank and eventually hatch?

Pik, this reminds me -- if we're gonna meet for the first meeting of the SoCal inverts club next month, would you like to swap some baby shrimplets to increase genetic diversity in our colonies? I've read that's a good idea. My colony is pretty new (at most two generations), and I think yours is too, but since you're inconveniently graduating soon, I thought I'd ask now.
sounds like a plan, but I got my shrimpies from rachel. If you got them from her as well, wouldn't that defeat the purpose? 
Or would the swapping still help? dunno honestly.

I didn't know Rachel when I got mine -- I discovered her invertie bounty and greatness later.
Mine came from a Stockton seller on aquabid.
