If we ever did this (going public), we'd HAVE to eliminate any inactive admins and recruit more, ensuring that each one is a quality admin. So either we stay small and safe, or become big and having griefers be rather commonplace.

I'd suggest that you also have to eliminate incompetent admins that cause more issues then they solve, but self-termination is a bit rough on the ego, aye?
It's silly, but it works well for my servers[context: Not always ss13 servers]; Setup some rules, just for admins. Real simple and obvious stuff, but ensure its enforced and that people start off with a culture of checking on each other.
-Trial admin phases
-1st Ban worthy offence => Timed ban. Perma bans should never be the very first response to a issue, getting a new beyond id and even hardware ID (which many bans are based on) is very easy and if you anger someone, they can easily grief the hell out of the server on there own, avoiding all bans until you ban the ip range and then you're just crippling your userbase (and even that might not stop some).
-State a ban reason, either in your ban-statement (No, one word things like "Idiot" "robustedme" "noraison" are not okay) or in a quick pm exchange with a player. I used to have that you have to provide a screenshot or log with the ban cause, but that was quite effortful, so you can either have that for trial/junior admins or/and only in the case of perma bans.
-Keep track. Who was banned, why? The ss13 admin interface provides nice ways to input that information, so make use of it!
-For all that is holy, if you are community manger or server owner, please, go "undercover" on your own server, login with a different beyond account and watch the powercraze of some admins (not releated to this server, yet). Then don't be shy about removing them.
-Regulate punishments somewhat. Admin A will give you a jobban from CE and atmos tech for flooding the station with n20. Admin B will perma ban you if you add 90% oČ instead of 80%.
