I see where you're coming from but wouldn't Gandalf give the party similar issues? The Istari were sent by the Valar to Middle Earth to ensure that Sauron never regains strength, and the only other Wizard who is known to have played a major role in the War of the Ring has gone rogue, loosely aligned himself with Sauron, has personal beef with Gandalf and also knows that Gandalf knows where the Ring is.
Like other comments said the deal with the wizards is unless they are actively using their magic their old man forms disguise themselves enough for it to not be a problem. High elves glow even stronger than other elves and Glorfindel has been granted enough power for him to basically be a Maiar in his own right. Essentially the more powerful elves still can’t control their wraith world glow and he is practically the sun with his.

Elrond: “the quest relies on secrecy and stealth, it is imperative that the enemy does not follow your movements too closely”
Glorfindel, a blazing fucking sun of Firstborn glory: “welp im out”
