Didn't see this get answered... The long-and-short of that there aren't any negative consequences of having it higher, as I understand it anyway, except the risk of greedy apps. In some cases, shared memory can't be swapped out, which makes it a bit more risky than 'regular' memory getting sucked up by some app.
That's how I understand it as well. So the solution is to calculate an upper limit for the shared memory usage very generously, since it doesn't matter if the limit is set a couple of MBs too high.
