Reason I ask is a family member chastised me for being a helicopter parent for insisting upon this with my 4 year old, even when I pointed put that she is learning and stopping involves her jamming her feet on the ground an having the training wheels slam into them.
Am I being sane here? Or just being over-protective?

I wouldnt say helicoptor parent but in my opinion its not a big deal to ride a bike barefoot and if she did hurt her feet then she would learn that she needs shoes. It also might help with teaching her not to brake with her feet.
However i am the guy who will walk down the street barefoot
