My favorite candidate for author of the plays by Wm Shagsberd is Mercutio Florio.

One issue I've heard discussed is whether anyone without extensive exposure to or membership in the royal court could have written all the works credited to W. S. Was there any place else to hang out in and acquire sufficient knowledge?

Was there any place else to hang out in and acquire sufficient knowledge? Well considering he made up most of the detail in the plays about Royalty and got much of it quite historically wrong, it doesn't necessarily follow that he did in fact acquire sufficient knowlege.

Shakespeare apparently acquired sufficent knowledge to avoid characterizing or caricaturing powerful personages in a manner so objectionable as to result in his banishment, or worse.
