Not arguing pros/cons, or whether you should even use SNA. But, what are you using SNA for? I would say SNA is used for: File transfer, object connection services, and for those too locked in to switch from STRPASTHR to TELNET. Other than my STRPASTHR peeve I'm not arguing whether or not there's alternative ways to do these functions in TCP/IP. What I am saying is that, with so few things SNA is used for, why do you want to lock it out of the one or two things it can be used for?

The most basic fundamental security of IBM i is to secure the data. Object authority.
If you set it up so that SUZYQ the data entry clerk has *ALL on the authority to the objects in PRODLIB, then, yes, she can clear the library. Transfer a file from/to a remote system into/out-of the library, etc.

With role authority if you set it up so that SUZYQ also had *SAVRST authority then yes she can restore the library from backup. And probably restore it using SAVRSTLIB.
