The gold standard for RF shielding is a complete enclosure (box with top and bottom plates) that is attached to signal ground at one and only one point.

That said, as long as the components are close to a conducting plane (top plate only) the conducting ground plane does much of what a complete enclosure does. I think of this as the silver standard ... or maybe nickel, depending on your priorities. :^)

The biggest problem with a complete enclosure is ventilation.

It's not a real answer but it is an input.
