I would play with the formatprg setting.

:help formatprg

> shfmt -l -w script.sh

Based on my read of the help section, it looks like formatprg expects to
read STDIN and write to STDOUT. So you might need some sort of wrapper
to read Vim's STDOUT to a file, shfmt said file, then write said file
back to Vim's STDIN.

But I suspect that this is eminently doable.
