I was wondering if it would be useful to make it more obvious by the
name that the item would be shared between clients (e.g.
red_channel_pipes_add_shared() or _add_shared_item())? Maybe that's
overkill and we can just handle it with an API comment (see below)

I'm a little bit ambivalent about this part. On the one hand, it's more
convenient for the caller since they dont' have to explicitly unref the
pipe item. But it also means that the pipe item might no longer be
valid after this function returns, which might be a little unexpected?
As long as it's documented in the header, I guess it's OK.

I think it would be useful to add a comment here indicating that 'item'
will be shared between all clients. Also should specify that it takes
ownership of 'item'.
