I highly doubt we would even reach launch with cloakers having an instagib without some form of warning (even just a sound, like alternate fire on the knives in PS1 or the beeping of the boomer being set).

The reason for this is that the meta-game would adjust to make paranoia and every possible precaution against infiltrators be a requirement , which would just make their instagibbing a rare gimick that results in more dead cloakers than anything else.
