I'm not in a senior position and I HATE getting the shit sandwich, it's irritating and insulting. Most of my coworkers (in various positions of seniority) also hate it.
I wouldn't use it period, unless you know for certain the specific person cannot handle criticism.

The shit sandwich is a tool used because you feel the person isn't capable of handling direct criticism.
When using the shit sandwich on a senior report, you are implicitly stating that you don't believe they can handle direct criticism.
