I used to run with a heavy shield booster on my Gunnlogi shortly after 1.7. But since then I've replaced it for a heavy extender. Only about 600 shield less but it will never fail me, plus it has much lower fitting requirements and it's passive, meaning I don't have to wait for a cooldown to have the shield available to me.
Though I have recently switched my light shield extender to a light shield booster on my Python. Almost same fitting requirements, but grants almost twice as much shield (if only heavy boosters were the same, I'd totally use them again). It's fun when it works, but I've lost a few Pythons because it never gave me my shield.

Because my complex heavy extender grants over 1.3k shield (only about 600 shield less), costs about half the PG (of the complex heavy booster), is reliable (no chance of failure), and I don't have to rely on waiting out the cooldown so I can benefit from 600 more shield.

If your not getting any shields it means you took damage as you activated it and or within the 1.00 Sec Pulse interval which gives you the bonus shields
If it was made so that it activated instantly as well as it had no Pulse interval then it could be OP since it gives such a large amount of shields back
The point of the shield booster IS to give you instantaneous shield. That's how it works in EVE. Shield boosters provide shield at the beginning of each pulse, while armor reps provide armor at the end of each pulse.
