I know this very well. Depending on your objects it could work but often
not.
The problem with the shasow override ist that no kind of >self-shadow< will
be rendered.
Probably we have to combine the shadow pass with a ambient pass/matte.
Just an idea!

Sorry but I never notice this hard edge ? Can you show some examples ?

If you plug directly the incidence in the surface material input, the light
is only used to drive incidence on your material ( The light intensity and
shadow is ignored ) Use the 180 degree shading range in the incidence shader
and reduce the Bias to somthing near 0.1 for black color in parallel.
