It is obvious to me that when using shunt regs you need have resistance in serial with the chip, otherwise .....Anyway, I think 431 is a fairly useful chip with any application need <100 ma total current. CCS just happen to be one of the usages. I have build quite a few shunt regs using 431 and found that once it works, it stays there working forever. The quality control of 431 is not that great, a lot of deviations such that it should be used by experienced builders only.
