Is there a straightforward way to discover the document shepherd? I don't see that information listed in the datatracker, but I might be missing something.
You can use https://datatracker.ietf.org/idtracker/ I'll use Lisa's I-D as an example. https://datatracker.ietf.org/idtracker/draft-dusseault-http-patch/ mentions the responsible I-D and the Document Shepherd.
An I-D may not have been assigned to an AD or have a Document Shepherd yet. Should the team review such an I-D? I'll say maybe if it helps the Apps Area ADs decide whether to sponsor the I-D. But you may be reviewing the document too early then (see Alexey's message about the intent).
The bottom line is whether to use the process to determine the acceptable level of quality for an I-D to be reviewed.
