[Bloat] Does it makes sense to shape traffic with 16Kbit/s up and 16Kbit/s down?

At 16Kbps a full-MTU sized packet will take around
(1000 ms/sec * (1500 * 8) bits/packet ) / 16000 bits/sec = 750 ms

This is just to put things into perspective, 16Kbps is going to be both painful and much better than no service at all....
