My problem with it, apart from how cringy and pointlessly stupid a lot of the "problems" were, is that times of adversity are when heroes are supposed to show their character and Shield Hero folds like a wet paper bag instead.

Do you mean Shield Hero the story, or Naofumi the Shield Hero?
If it's Naofumi, I recall from the WN that he was forced to pick up the pace in defending the world, especially in training and preparation, because the other 3 were being difficult and self-centred. He was the only capable one IIRC.
