The plastic shims you got are probably the same kind used to level
buildings. I have a stack that came from a stadium - used to level
concrete columns and slabs. 40 foot concrete columns over 2 feet in
diameter. The slabs were likewise huge. If you have a press, put the
plastic in the press and see how it holds up.
But if you do grout, use non-shrinking "horn" grout. It won't crumble...
