Further to this, I note that I don't even need the

xinetd is allowed to sudo. Should this not be controlled?

What protection does running xinetd under selinux give?
IIRC, the default targeted policy in Fedora leaves inetd children who do
not have a specific domain defined for them unconfined, as otherwise all
external (outside of Fedora) inetd-based services that lack policy would
immediately break.  The strict policy takes the more conservative
approach for security, at the risk of greater application breakage.

Ah, sorry, but your point was that nrpe should be confined since it has
policy.  However, it appears that the nagios and nrpe policies aren't
being built as part of the Fedora policy at present.

Those would be good candidates for loadable modules.
