Using a seatpost shim

I have a carbon seatpost 27.2 mm that I love. It's too small or my anthem but I'd still like to use it with a shim if possible?
1: would the seatpost keep slipping under load?
2: if I move from back to front on the seat will the post slip or move about?
3: are seatposts more prone to breaking in a shim?

I'd rather not buy a new carbon post if I can hlp it.

Thanks
Constantly trying to upgrade my parts.It is a long road ahead as things are so expensive for little gain. n+1 is always the principle in my mind.
