If you use stainless, the shields are likely to be less hot. If you ceramic coat them like the headers, they will be more less hot.

I can put my hand on the shields after driving the car for awhile. Top surface is warm, side is cool. The only part that is hot is the small screw head that holds the shield to the pipe. These things dissipate heat very rapidly.
