I would actually strongly suggest HBS as it would render project in sync
with contemporary standard and macro language concept (adding notion of
Bosnian), rather than depricated SH and historic burden it caries in eyes
of many (maybe even mayority of Wikipediands from the region).

should just have clarity on the ISO code to use for now on Incubator. Amir,
you said using sh doesn't require any additional work on the script
converter - I think that would be a very good reason for just using sh.
(Although at
https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wy/sh/A I can't see a
conversion option atm).

Yes I would be interested to experiment with test instance in incubator
of HBS Wikivoyage or Wikivodič (local name).
@Gerard: I do not get the can of worms metaphore...
As for public, it is cca 20+ milion people that can understand HBS
languages.
Fragmantation into small communities over rigid neo-national language
standards led to issues.
This could be small experiment in opposite direction, at no risk.
@Amir: switching script is an issue indeed and I think your idea of
separate entities would be fairly easy to accept by most people from the
region as Cyrilic is only close to same use as Latin script in Serbia.
As for if readers care I would agree many do not, while those that do a
fewer and would care least with HBS.
Wikivoyage is likely less demanding and complex language (for sure less
than Wikipedia and Wiktionary) to do this in acceptable way.
