You are fine till you hit a point and run out. Once you hit empty it’s a constant grind to get back to full and that’s also not counting the more expensive tools later in the game or the tools that need you to return to specific locations to “recharge” for beads.
It’s just this extra layer of grind and tedium that Hollow Knight didn’t have with the spells all using soul.
I personally have 100% completion and only fell below half my available shards a couple of times. I probably still have most of my shard consumables to restore them when you get low if I had to guess. I used the fire tool a fair bit late game, and the boomerang early game for a couple of fights, but presumably since I was using a crest with only one tool slot I consumed shards slower than the average joe.
Which boss you at?

I’m not sure, but this is what my map looks like currently.
Your basically not even out of the tutorial yet in the grand scheme of things.
Shards didn’t become a problem for me for example till well past the half way point.

Farming 1600 shell shards takes less than 10 mins or so by farming rosaries and buying shards from a vendor.
