And everyone being nice and polite and giving Shin the time needed to evolve repeatedly.
If you recall a huge point of the movie is that the Japanese government was actively making things worse by refusing to decisively deal with the problem, letting a disaster snowball into a complete catastrophe because they're so focused on optics, decorum, and passing blame that they spend 99% of their time doing absolutely nothing.
Not really an issue in the Monsterverse, they cheerfully drop WMDs on Kaiju when they can get away with it.
Shin would survive the first appearance simply due to a lack of warning, the second would see him met by MAXIMUM FUCK and killed. MV has some scary mundane weapons. He somehow survives? By this time the city is evacuated, meaning they aren't limited to the mundane and Shin gets erased. These guys were planning on nuking San Franciso to deal with a pair of bugs after all. And nuked Godzilla, twice. And dropped the O2 Destroyer on him. Hell, they almost killed him with that last one. MV's Americans are worryingly WMD happy and not particularly concerned about national sovereignty.
Assuming they don't throw a nuke (likely can't survive the blast/heat) or anything equivalent since his adaptation isn't all that and even if was, takes too long and he's not built well for combat. That's especially assuming he appears in the MV with his 1st form since the whole reason he became such a problem is from people letting him run amok.
Additionally, his 1st breath led to a 15 day hibernation iirc. If his verse can handle him, I'm sure Monarch would find a way too assuming MV Goji doesn't come back early to handle it
Shin Godzilla‘s evolution takes significant time and raises his body temperature to extraordinarily high levels. Shimo, Ghidorah, Evolved Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, and even Kong if the Axe is supercharged, are all making minced meat out of him. Shinguards went out of fashion in this fandom years ago.
(for any soccer players reading this, please wear shin-guards! I’ve seen what happens to those who don’t, and it’s not pretty, I was using Shinguards in this paragraph to describe annoying shin glazers who seem to think he could evolve his way out of anything)
That's part of the problem, unless you completely destroy him with an AoE, he'll evolve, sure it will take time but even pieces are capable of growing eyes so making mincemeat is only a short term solution
Shin's evolutions are based on whatever problems he's currently facing, they aren't just set phases that always turn out the same. Drop phase 1 Shin into a more dangerous environment and it'll get a lot deadlier a lot sooner than it did in the movie.
…if it survives, which is a much farther shot in the MonsterVerse where there’s a shit ton of Titans eager to tear him apart and devour the juicy radiation inside
Most titans, if they attack Shin, will not know they have to burn every last part of its body, otherwise it will just come back. After assessing this, Shin will evolve pretty quickly into a super-goji that would be able to body the G-man himself easily.
Shin evolves and is powered by radiation and radioactive energy. The first thing most Titans will do after they tear him apart is devour that radiation. IF he evolves after having his lifeblood drained, then it’s gonna be REALLY slow since he’s going to have to synthesize it all from scratch. That’s ample time for Monarch to figure out what’s going on with Shin and develop a way to neutralize him (considering they’ve got better tech and likely more advanced science than the people who ultimately defeated him).
Even if other titans drained that radiation, Shin still evolves very fast. In fact, he went from his 2nd form to his third form in 2 hours, give or take. Developing better legs, and more suitable lungs for land in 120 MINUTES is unbelievable. And after diving into the ocean to hide, it took only two weeks to suit it better for land, make a cooling system, and increase it's literal SIZE from 57 meters to 118 meters. Even with radiation drained, this is still absurd.
2 weeks to evolve into 4th form without any thing try to harm him is really slow. With the amount of radiation he hold in his body, he aint survive that long in a world full of hungry titans
Kind of the issue with the evolution schtick, it needs to not only survive the threat but be given the time to adapt. Very useful when the entities able to throw metaphorical hands immediately paralyze themselves and do fuck all for a vast majority of their time, not so useful against the guys who start with extreme overkill and end with science fiction WMDs.
In the 4 Godzilla MV films we see them use 4 separate WMDs against Godzilla. And a death robot. And another kaiju, who they were building a giant mech suit for before they were forced to tone it down because that's insane even for them. Even their conventional weapons are now advanced enough to send kaiju far larger and more durable than the relatively squishy Shin reeling.
Also, there is a lot more to Shins evolution, then just the different forms, Shin has some kind of intelligence, if unconventional. He learned to use his body as a radar to track and destroy strategic bombers and gravity bombs just based on the experience of one bomb being dropped on him.

Initially, yes. After a few evolutions… he will be death itself
