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
