Actually, the *ideal* place for such an indicator is on the CURSOR, where
the user's attention usually is.  Most existing video chips are capable of
giving you any one-character-wide rectangle as the cursor, so there would
be no problem in (say) making a flashing underscore a bit fatter when a
shift was in effect.

As for putting it on the status line...  I'd go for that as second-best,
provided the indicator was for SHIFT LOCK, not SHIFT.  Having a SHIFT sign
going on and off in one corner of the screen is a really annoying distraction
when you're typing at speed.
