Reply to comment by antdude in Only can share one iPhone's location at a time from a shared Apple ID account with two different iPhones and phone #s? by antdude
No. FaceID/fingerprint data are stored in each iPhone's secure enclave and are not saved anywhere else.
Apple IDs are not meant to be shared. This is just the beginning of the problems you will have by sharing Apple IDs. Family sharing is how you manage a set of Apple IDs in a family; do not use shared Apple IDs for that.
Also, with the Home app, you don't need to use family sharing with it (although you should). You can invite non-family members to use your Home app, although you'll have to decide is this is wise.

Will the shared accounts be able see AirTags?

No, that's a sore point that people have. Airtag locations can only be seen by the owner, and other family members may get the "an airtag was found moving with you" annoying message (but that's true regardless of family sharing).
Other than airtags, the locations of everyone's Apple devices are seen by everyone and cannot be hidden.

Darn it. Apple needs to share Airtags' locations with shared accounts. :( I'll leave a feedback to Apple again. I can do it with the same Apple ID account. :/
