No. People keep touting "oh but the shadows are stronger now!" to justify the shadow cap. But what they forget is that the health/damage bonuses have been around for quite some time. The only statistical buff the shadows received was the shield bonus, which for the majority of enemies is completely useless.

The shadows are at most as strong as they were before, but now you have less of them. Plus their health steadily decays regardless of their own durability, so in that regard they're actually weaker.
