Yeah, this one has a problem surface in it - your fillet was of a greater radius than the bend at one corner of the surface. There is a mechanism built into the filleter that still constructs a surface in these areas, but in this particular case it didn't do a very great job, if you separate this object and turn on control points for that piece, you'll see this:
You can see how dense the control points are in that one region. It probably has very slight wiggles in that area as well. This type of a surface that is very dense with very small wiggles puts a big strain on the surface offsetting, which is the big part of shelling... It's calculating the offset of this one piece that is taking so long.

In general, yes it should be fine with more normal fillets - fillet surfaces that are in normal areas where the fillet radius does not exceed the bend of the surface are a lot cleaner and will work much better.

It does, but that itself isn't really a problem for shelling. There are actually some calculations where trimmed surfaces are better.

I know.... :) It's probably going to come closer towards the end of the beta period after most of the features for V1 are in place.
