The actual consensus on the question isn't going to happen until this is clarified.
If the player admins can see all stats, transfer cash/credits/items, see how the code works, etc. Then no, of course not.
If the player admins get email into a combined admin bucket, and spend their time sending canned statements to players who don't understand why weapon x costs more, minor complaints, questions about how things work, etc... Sure, no harm there. I would guess that 80%+ of the mail Zen has to deal with is mundane crap like this and that is what needs to be off loaded onto someone else.
The remaining <20% (item transfers, Paypal issues, legitimate abuse reports, etc) need to be handled by the full Admin, who most likely cannot be a normal player once those powers are in place.
so.. Yes, I am open to the possibility, but would have to see a better idea of what being a 'player admin' would entail. Besides, who would care enough to work on keeping the community alive, if not one of us?
