Yes basically that's why I said it can be good in theory but not on practice.
But even on practice there are funnels where you can cade with 2 dep shields in a row. And in such places 2 dep shields with 3400hp each is better then 1 shc with 3300hp. But it's still situational so I think new SHC is a way to go.
And you need to have special team composition to make dep shields cading, though it would be funny to see let's say 15 depshields owners + 1 tomebringer at Nordic Village. And you can add 5 dep shields row on a bridge every wave. And to wave 15 it's 15 depshield rows, 3400*5=17k hp each row. Yes you'll lose some shields in a process, but not much, because every shield has more hp then a wall. It would be hillarious, shame there is no 15 depshields owners, probably it's 0 in whole mod right now )))
But really, just think about it 15 rows with 17k hp each row = 255k cades HP, it's approximately 80 walls. You can say 'ye, but you can build 75 walls with 15 bringers', but not anymore, as now you have only 90 BP per run, which is only 30 walls.
And in more narrow passages you can make in work with 3 or even 2 shields in a row.
But obviously you need at least 3 dep shields in a team, otherwise no cades for first waves.
