I have like 2-3" of lift from my shackles, but I think they're too long. The arc that the shackle travels on and the arc the leaf travels on don't work very well together.

That's fine. Then if you want to get shackle relocators in the future you can drop the shackle to 1" if you get an extended shackle with two mounts like RC has.

No real cons with a quality shackle that provides less than 2" of lift. What they do change slightly is the pinion angle, usually not an issue but should be considered.
When installing leaf springs that lift a rig, extended shackles are necessary to get the full movement of springs.
I prefer rubber bushings but most aftermarket shackles are poly (except Clayton).
